The geometry of a circleIn 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. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

The Gradient of a Straight Line Segment Part 1IPOD VIDEO: In this unit we use a system of co-ordinates to find various properties of the straight line between two points. We find the distance between the two points and the mid-point of the line joining the two points.

The impact of maths support tutorials on mathematics confidence and academic performance in a cohort of HE Animal Science studentsStudents embarking on a bioscience degree course, such as Animal Science, often do not have sufficient experience in mathematics. However, mathematics forms an essential and integral part of any bioscience degree and is essential to enhance employability. This paper presents the findings of a project looking at the effect of mathematics tutorials on a cohort of first year animal science and management students. The results of a questionnaire, focus group discussions and academic performance analysis indicate that small group tutorials enhance students’ confidence in maths and improve students’ academic performance. Furthermore, student feedback on the tutorial programme provides a deeper insight into student experiences and the value students assign to the tutorials.

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.

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 logarithmsThis leaflet explains and illustrates the laws governing the manipulation of logarithms. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.20)
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 logarithm functionThis leaflet provides a table of values and a graph of the logarithm function. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.7)
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.
