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.

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 'Science with Management' Students Using A Graphic CalculatorThe introduction of the graphics calculator has provided the fourth year students taking Science with Management Studies with an interactive learning tool. This case study reviews its introduction into the course Discrete and Continuous Models at Napier University.
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 engineering students with a wide range of mathematical abilityThe approach to teaching Maths to Year 1 students in the Department of Engineering underwent a major reorganisation prior to the start of the 2002/3 session. The aim was to provide an optimum framework within which students studying four different engineering disciplines could be taught Maths within the resource constraints imposed by student numbers, and to cope with the extremely wide range of their Mathematical abilities on entry to these degree programmes. After much discussion, students are now taught their Year 1 Maths topics in two different cohorts, streamed according to initial Maths ability, and using different approaches in terms of the depth of understanding expected. This also involves the use of different assessments. This approach has been much more popular and created far fewer difficulties than the previous system which divided the students into two groups according to degree programme.
Teaching of Chemical Thermodynamics using Available Data and an Innovative ApproachAnalysis is made showing how Helmholtz and Gibbs energies conveniently interrelate enabling typical 2-D and 3-D curves to be drawn across a range of temperature for selected chemical equilibria. Opposing influences leading to a free energy minimum or an entropy maximum are given a physical explanation with the attainment of equilibrium and the choice of conditions made evident. Simplifying assumptions are emphasised and the examples show how the data are manipulated, limits evaluated and trends in equilibrium summarised by EXCEL charts.
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.
