The Provision of Maths Learning Support at De Montfort University, LeicesterThe Maths Learning Centre (MLC) was first established as a library service in 1994 but initially struggled for funding and recognition at a wider University level. Since 2000 it has been incorporated into the centrally funded Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS).

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:

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 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.

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. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
