The Mathematics Learning Support Centre at Loughborough UniversityThe Centre was established in 1996 within the Department of Mathematical Sciences in order to underpin the Department's service teaching commitment to engineering undergraduates. In the first instance funding had been made available through an internal university learning and teaching initiative for a period of two years. Because of its early successes the Centre became a permanent feature in 1998 and now serves any student in the university who might benefit from additional resources, over and above those normally provided, to help them in their learning of basic mathematical techniques.
The Maths Revision Booklet as Part of a Programme of Support at University of Newcastle upon TyneComputer-based diagnostic testing has been used for new engineering students for some years at University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Follow-up support has been available only in some departments. In summer 2001, new students were issued (in advance or on arrival) with a â??Maths Revision Bookletâ?? covering the basic maths topics that we didnâ??t intend to teach. Following the diagnostic test, lunchtime classes were offered for six weeks, based on the booklet, for those students who wished to attend.We report on the student opinion, analysis of diagnostic and examination performance.

The redesign of a quantitative literacy class: student responses to a labbased formatNicole 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.
The scalar productThis 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)
The scalar productOne 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. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

The Study Support Centre, The Robert Gordon University, AberdeenThe Study Support Centre (SSC), within the Robert Gordon University (RGU), aims to provide students with assistance in Mathematics, Writing & Communication skills, Information & Communication Technology applications, Statistics, Study Skills and support for dyslexic students. The SSC offers students independent assistance through individual and small group tuition outwith their normal programme of study, as well as Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) packages, specialist software for special needs students and text based self-learning materials. The SSC has created a basic mathematics diagnostic assessment, which we give to first year students in many Schools. Currently, in collaboration with the School of Engineering, an engineering principles diagnostic assessment is being designed and implemented.
The sum of an infinite seriesIn 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.
