This unit is about the solution of quadratic equations. These take the form ax²+bx+c = 0. We will look at four methods: solution by factorisation, solution by completing the square, solution using a formula, and solution using graphs.

The strategy we adopt in solving trigonometric equations is to find one solution using knowledge of commonly occurring angles and then use the symmetries in the graphs of the trigonometric functions to deduce additional solutions.

Ni Fhloinn, E., Fitzmaurice O., Bhaird, C. M., & O'Sullivan, C. (2014). Student perception of the impact of mathematics support in higher education. International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 45 (7) 953-967., DOI:10.1080/0020739X.2014.892161 Mathematics support in higher education has become increasingly widespread over the past two decades, particularly in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Despite this, reliable evaluation of mathematics support continues to present challenges for those working in this area. One reason is because ideally, properly structured support should function as an integral part of the overall educational experience of the student, in tandem with lectures and tutorials. When this occurs, it makes it difficult to isolate the impact of mathematics support from these other entities. In this paper, the results of a large-scale nationwide survey conducted with first-year service mathematics students in nine higher education institutes in Ireland are considered, exploring studentsâ?? perceptions of the impact of mathematics support upon their retention, mathematical confidence, examination performance and overall ability to cope with the mathematical demands they face. Students were extremely positive about the effectiveness of mathematics support in all of these areas, providing valuable insights into the value of learning support in mathematics.

The projects highlighted in this booklet have as their key concern the student and have introduced initiatives which recognise the diverse needs of students. All have some element of support tailored to the needs of students, although the projects themselves are quite distinct. The first is focused on supporting mathematics students and the next three focus on student-centred approaches for students from other disciplines. The focus then changes, with three reports on inclusive curricula and students with additional needs. The final report presents an overview of how one might use social media to engage students.

In mathematics, engineering and science, formulae are used to relate physical quantities to each other. They provide rules so that if we know the values of certain quantities; we can calculate the values of others. In this video we discuss several formulae and illustrate how they are used.
