Sequences and limits - Numbas3 questions. One question on limits of standard sequences. Other two on finding least $N$ such that $|a_n-L |lt 10^{-r},;;n geq N$ where $L$ is limit of $(a_n)$.

Setting up a maths support centre (HE STEM)The focus of this HE STEM guide is to provide mathematics support to students across all STEM disciplines to ease the transition from School/College in to University. This is a key factor influencing drop-out from STEM degrees and a targeted provision for mathematics support is a proven way to counter this. It includes cases studies from the Universities of Coventry, Portsmouth, York. Lincoln and Kent and articulates the experiences of the two Sigma Directors Professor Duncan Lawson, Coventry University and Professor Tony Croft, Loughborough University joint winners of the 2011 Times Higher Award for Outstanding Support for Students
Sigma notationSigma notation is a method used to write out a long sum in a concise way. In this unit we look at ways of using sigma notation, and establish some useful rules. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Simple Linear EquationsIn this unit we give examples of simple linear equations and show you how these can be solved. In any equation there is an unknown quantity, x say, that we are trying to find. In a linear equation this unknown quantity will appear only as a multiple of x, and not as a function of x such as x2, x3, sin x and so on. Linear equations occur so frequently in the solution of other problems that a thorough understanding of them is essential.

Simulation of Linear and Non-linear Dynamic Systems using SpreadsheetsEXCEL has been used to provide simulation facilities in support of teaching control to engineers. This dictates a sampled data approach which fits in naturally with digital implementation of control. The technique also allows students to explore the affects of non-linearities in systems such as control signal saturation. It provides a â??hands-onâ?? dimension which students find valuable. The approach is capable of use with other dynamic systems and is not restricted to teaching control.
Simultaneous equationsThis leaflet explains how two equations in two unknowns can be solved by elimination. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.13)
