The impact of the mathematics support centre on the grades of first year students at the National University of Ireland Maynouth(FOR COPYRIGHT REASONS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS LINK DIRECTLY.)
This paper, by Mac an Bhaird, Morgan & O'Shea, is an analysis of first year students' grades in the academic year 2007-2008. We compared the grades of students who attended the MSC and those who did not. To compare students of similar abilities, we split the groups (First Arts and First Science) up into smaller groups depending on their grades (Leaving Cert) at the end of second level. There was a significant difference in all sub groups. We then expanded by comparing the grades of students depending on the results of their proficiency tests. Again there was a significant difference. All students seems to benefit from support but this is particularly true for 'at-risk' students.

The Internet Librarian and Curator of Mathematics VideosThis website links to selected, reviewed and academically-validated mathematics video tutorials. The vast size and lack of discrimination in the results of an internet search make it hard for students to identify suitable resources and to know whether they are relevant and reliable. This website was created by a pilot project led by Trevor Hawkes. This website is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.

The laws of indicesThis leaflet reminds students of the laws used for manipulating indices. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.1)
The laws of indicesWhen a number is to be multiplied by itself, a power or index can be used to write this compactly. In this leaflet, we remind you of how this is done, and state a number of rules, or laws, which can be used to simplify expressions involving indices.
The laws of logarithmsThere are rules, or laws, which are used to rewrite expressions involving logs in different forms. This leaflet states and illustrates these rules.
The laws of logarithmsThere are a number of rules known as the laws of logarithms. These allow expressions involving logarithms to be rewritten in a variety of different ways. The laws apply to logarithms of any base, but the same base must be used throughout a calculation.
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.
