Parametric differentiationInstead of a function y(x) being defined explicitly in terms of the independent variable x, it is sometimes useful to
define both x and y in terms of a third variable, t say, known as a parameter. In this unit we explain how such
functions can be differentiated using a process known as parametric differentiation. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Pascal's triangle and the binomial expansionA binomial expression is the sum or difference of two terms. For example, x+1 and 3x+2y are both binomial expressions. If we want to raise a binomial expression to a power higher than 2 it is very cumbersome to do this by repeatedly multiplying x+1 or 3x+2y by itself. In this tutorial you will learn how Pascal's triangle can be used to obtain the required result quickly. (mathtutor video)

Peer Support in Mathematics at the University of LeicesterPeer Support (PS) has been running in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Leicester for the past 9 years. In this scheme students from the second and third years (called leaders from now on) help first year students in their efforts to assimilate first year material. The help occurs in small timetabled groups containing up to 8 or 10 first years and 2 to 4 leaders. In its first year the scheme had 6 second year leaders and now we have typically between 15 and 20 second and third year leaders.The number of first year students taking part in the scheme has also grown from about 10% of students in the early years to around 50% of students making some use of the scheme at some stage in the year.

Piloting an online mathematics and statistics tutoring servicePettigrew, J., & Shearman, (2014) D. Piloting an online mathematics and statistics tutoring service.
30th ascilite Conference 2013 Proceedings,
http://ascilite.org.au/conferences/sydney13/program/papers/Pettigrew.pdf.
In early 2013 the Mathematics Education Support Hub at the University of Western Sydney launched a tutoring service to support students’ mathematical and statistical learning in an online environment. Until the end of its pilot implementation in mid 2013, the service operated at all times as a moderated question and answer forum located within the University’s Learning Management System (a version of Blackboard Learn known as vUWS). It also featured a ‘virtual classroom’, which allowed students to interact with mathematics and statistics support staff in a web conferencing space equipped with a wide range of digital communication tools. This paper refers to the service as it was offered in discussing a range of general issues and questions associated with its pilot implementation. Particular attention is given to the issues of pedagogy in a purely online teaching and learning context and communicating asynchronously and synchronously using mathematical language and notation.
Polar co-ordinatesThe (x, y) co-ordinates of a point in the plane are called its Cartesian
co-ordinates. But there is another way to specify the position of a point, and
that is to use polar co-ordinates (r, theta). In this unit we explain how to
convert from Cartesian co-ordinates to polar co-ordinates, and back again.
