Resource type The Provision of Maths Learning Support at De Montfort University, Leicester
The Maths Learning Centre (MLC) was first established as a library service in 1994 but initially struggled for funding and recognition at a wider University level. Since 2000 it has been incorporated into the centrally funded Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS).

Resource type The redesign of a quantitative literacy class: student responses to a labbased format
Nicole Scherger (2013). The redesign of a quantitative literacy class: student responses to a lab based format, Teaching Mathematics and its Applications 2013 32(4), 206-213 doi: 10.1093/teamat/hrt003. The purpose of this study was to observe students’ retention, success and attitudes towards mathematics in a community college quantitative literacy course, taught in a lab-based format. The redesigned course implemented the daily use of Microsoft Excel in the classroom demonstrations, group activities and individual assignments, and utilized data from many fields of study. Results showed statistically significant growth in attitudes towards real-world application problems, the use of computers in mathematics, and the consideration of taking additional mathematics courses. There was also marginally significant growth in students’ attitudes towards the relevance and utility of mathematics. Higher retention and success rates in the redesigned course were also observed, although those rates were not found to be statistically significant.
Resource type The scalar product
This leaflet defines the scalar product of two vectors and gives some examples. It shows how the scalar product can be used to find the angle between two vectors. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 6.2)
Resource type The scalar product
One of the ways in which two vectors can be combined is known as the scalar product. When we calculate the scalar product of two vectors the result, as the name suggests is a scalar, rather than a vector.

Resource type The sine rule and cosine rule
This leaflet states the sine and cosine rules and gives examples of their use. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 4.6)
Resource type The straight line
This leaflet describes the equation of a straight line in the form y=mx+c. It explains the meaning o the terms gradient and vertical intercept. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.3)
Resource type The sum of an infinite series
In this unit we see how finite and infinite series are obtained from finite and infinite sequences. We explain how the partial sums of an infinite series form a new sequence, and that the limit of this new sequence (if it exists) defines the sum of the series. We also consider two specific examples of infinite series that sum to e and pi respectively.
