Piloting an online mathematics and statistics tutoring servicePettigrew, J., & Shearman, (2014) D. Piloting an online mathematics and statistics tutoring service.

In early 2013 the Mathematics Education Support Hub at the University of Western Sydney launched a tutoring service to support students’ mathematical and statistical learning in an online environment. Until the end of its pilot implementation in mid 2013, the service operated at all times as a moderated question and answer forum located within the University’s Learning Management System (a version of Blackboard Learn known as vUWS). It also featured a ‘virtual classroom’, which allowed students to interact with mathematics and statistics support staff in a web conferencing space equipped with a wide range of digital communication tools. This paper refers to the service as it was offered in discussing a range of general issues and questions associated with its pilot implementation. Particular attention is given to the issues of pedagogy in a purely online teaching and learning context and communicating asynchronously and synchronously using mathematical language and notation.
Polar co-ordinatesThe (x, y) co-ordinates of a point in the plane are called its Cartesian
co-ordinates. But there is another way to specify the position of a point, and
that is to use polar co-ordinates (r, theta). In this unit we explain how to
convert from Cartesian co-ordinates to polar co-ordinates, and back again.

Polynomial divisionPolynomial division is a process used to simplify certain sorts of algebraic fraction. It is very similar to long division of numbers. This booklet describes how the process is carried out.
Polynomial DivisionIn order to simplify certain sorts of algebraic fraction we need a process known as polynomial division. This unit describes this process.

PowersA knowledge of powers, or indices as they are often called, is essential for an understanding of most algebraic processes. In this section you will learn about powers and rules for manipulating them through a number of worked examples.

Predicting Performance of first year engineering students and the importance of assessment tools thereinThis research paper by Lee, Harrison, Pell and Robinson presents statistical regression models which aim to predict overall first year mechanical engineering students' performance. Data was collected on overall first year mark against 14 variables. The regression models produced showed the positive effect of almost one grade boundary of students visiting the mathematics learning support centre.
The paper is published in Engineering Education, 2008, 3(1), 44-51. DOI: 10.11120/ened.2008.03010044

Preparing students for university mathematics through a maths readiness workshopFirst year science students often lack confidence at the start of their course regarding their mathematical skills. A maths
readiness workshop has been designed at Monash University Gippsland campus to give students confidence in their
mathematical ability prior to the beginning of semester. It also helps students to identify very early if they should opt in to the
various maths support programs offered at the campus. The workshop has been designed in conjunction with first year coordinators
to specifically target mathematical content relevant to first year biology and chemistry including rearranging formulae,
logarithms and exponentials, and physical quantities and their units. Students self-select into the workshop based on a short
presentation during O-week activities. Results of student evaluations and reflections of the facilitators will be presented.
