This leaflet explains how complex numbers in polar form can be multiplied and divided.
In polar form, these operations are particularly simple to carry out.(Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 7.6)

Formula sheet for nursing students including dosage, drop and infusion rates, unit conversion and BMI calculations contributed to the mathcentre Community Project by Shazia Ahmed, University of Glasgow. The leaflet is designed to be printed double-sided on A4 paper and folded into quarters lengthwise first.

A zip file containing the source files for the Fact & Formula leaflet Nursing Medication Calculation Formulaef' contributed to the mathcentre Community Project by Shazia Ahmed, University of Glasgow and reviewed by Aiping Xu, University of Coventry.

In this leaflet we consider the resultant force when several parallel forces act.

This leaflet analyses particles on slopes in the presence of friction.

When resolving forces, the directions generally taken are horizontal and vertical.
However, there are situations when it is better to consider other directions for resolving.
This leaflet explains how this is done.

The use of percentages is common in many aspects of commercial life. Interest rates, discounts, pay rises and so on, are all expressed using percentages. This leaflet revises the meaning of the term 'percentage', and shows how to calculate percentages, and how to convert expressions involving percentages into alternative forms.

Pettigrew, J., & Shearman, (2014) D. Piloting an online mathematics and statistics tutoring service.
30th ascilite Conference 2013 Proceedings,
http://ascilite.org.au/conferences/sydney13/program/papers/Pettigrew.pdf.
In early 2013 the Mathematics Education Support Hub at the University of Western Sydney launched a tutoring service to support students’ mathematical and statistical learning in an online environment. Until the end of its pilot implementation in mid 2013, the service operated at all times as a moderated question and answer forum located within the University’s Learning Management System (a version of Blackboard Learn known as vUWS). It also featured a ‘virtual classroom’, which allowed students to interact with mathematics and statistics support staff in a web conferencing space equipped with a wide range of digital communication tools. This paper refers to the service as it was offered in discussing a range of general issues and questions associated with its pilot implementation. Particular attention is given to the issues of pedagogy in a purely online teaching and learning context and communicating asynchronously and synchronously using mathematical language and notation.

The (x, y) co-ordinates of a point in the plane are called its Cartesian
co-ordinates. But there is another way to specify the position of a point, and
that is to use polar co-ordinates (r, theta). In this unit we explain how to
convert from Cartesian co-ordinates to polar co-ordinates, and back again.
