SymbolsMathematics provides a very rich language for the communication of concepts and ideas, and a set of powerful tools for the solution of problems. In order to use this language, it is essential to appreciate how symbols are used to represent quantities, and to understand the conventions which have been developed to manipulate them.
System of linear equations - Numbas3 questions. First, two equations in two unknowns, second 3 equations in 3 unknowns, solved by Gauss elimination.

Tangents and NormalsThis unit explains how differentiation can be used to calculate the equations of the tangent and normal to a curve.
The tangent is a straight line which just touches the curve at a given point. The normal is a straight line which is
perpendicular to the tangent. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Teaching Mathematics to Chemistry Students at the University of SheffieldThe department of chemistry offers over two semesters, Mathematics for Chemists 1 and 2, which provide students with the understanding and use of mathematical techniques for various chemistry degrees. This case study reviews these courses and illustrates their value in terms of providing the students with a positive foundation for future study.
Teaching Mathematics to First Year Undergraduate Chemists in the Context of their DisciplineNew entrants to chemistry degree programmes are given a 24 hour course in mathematics if they do not have an A level qualification in the subject. This concentrates only on the skills necessary to successfully complete the first year physical chemistry course; these include simple statistics, functions, partial differentiation and integration. The course is taught using chemically relevant examples, in an order related to the chemistry course rather than traditional mathematics courses.
Teaching Problem-solving in Undergraduate MathematicsThe purpose of this Guide is to argue the case for putting problem-solving at the heart of a mathematics degree; for giving students a flavour, according to their capabilities, of what it is to be a mathematician; a taste for rising to a mathematical challenge and overcoming it. Its purpose is also to make it easier for colleagues who share our vision to find ways of realising it in their own teaching. This book was edited by Matthew Badger, Chris Sangwin and Trevor Hawkes.

Teaching Students to Write Mathematics: video and other resourcesTeaching students to write mathematics correctly is often neglected part of a mathematics degree. A workshop was convened by Kevin Houston to consider approaches to teaching this topic. A DVD was produced with videos of talks by Kevin Houston (University of Leeds), Franco Vivaldi (Queen Mary, University of London) and Mike Robinson (Sheffield Hallam University), along with further reading and sample teaching resources. At this website you can download and burn your own DVD or view the videos and other materials online. This website is not made available under a Creative Commons licence.
The Geometry of a Circle - Part 3IPOD VIDEO:
In this unit we find the equation of a circle, when we are told its centre and its radius. There are two different forms of the equation, and you should be able to recognise both of them. We also look at some problems involving tangents to circles.
