Matrix inversion of a 3x3 matrixMatrices 11: This video tutorial explains how to calculate the inverse of a 3x3 matrix. There is an accompanying help leaflet.
Maxima and MinimaIn this unit we show how differentiation can be used to find the maximum and minimum values of a function. Because the derivative provides information about
the gradient or slope of the graph of a function we can use it to locate points on a
graph where the gradient is zero. We shall see that such points are often associated
with the largest or smallest values of the function, at least in their immediate
locality. In many applications, a scientist, engineer, or economist for example, will
be interested in such points for obvious reasons such as maximising power, or profit, or minimising losses or costs. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Measuring the effectiveness of a maths learning support centre - the DCU experienceThis research paper by DONAL DOWLING and BRIEN NOLAN, Dublin City University, reports upon efforts to measure the effectiveness of the Maths Learning Centre at Dublin City University. It provides a model of measuring effectiveness which compares the pass rates of "at risk" students who did or did not visit the mathematics support centre. The model shows that in each of the two years studied the centre made a direct contribution to the success of approximately 11 students. The paper was presented at the CETL MSOR Conference in September 2006.

Methods to produce flexible and accessible learning resources in mathematicsThis project explored methods to produce flexible and accessible learning resources for mathematics with a focus on producing a guide for staff in higher education to enable them as individuals to create flexible resources efficiently and robustly. This website houses resources providing an overview of the challenge, guidelines to writing documents and details of software setup; the resources act as exemplars for flexible and accessible learning resources for mathematics.
