The graph of a functionThis leaflet reminds students of important conventions associated with graph plotting.
It explains the terms dependent variable and independent variable.(Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.2)
The graph of a functionA very useful pictorial representation of a function is the graph. In this leaflet, we remind you of important conventions when plotting a graph.
The hyperbolic functionsThis leaflet gives definitions of the hyperbolic functions in terms of exponential functions.
Graphs of the hyperbolic sine, cosine and tangent are illustrated. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.5)
The hyperbolic identitiesThis leaflet lists common identities involving the hyperbolic functions. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.6)
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.

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 logarithmsThis leaflet explains and illustrates the laws governing the manipulation of logarithms. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.20)
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 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.
