Composition of functionsWe can build up complicated functions from simple functions by using the
process of composition, where the output of one function becomes the input of
another. It is also sometimes necessary to carry out the reverse process,
decomposing a complicated function into two or more simple functions.
This unit explains how.

Conservation of momentumThis leaflet introduces the concept of conservation of momentum in both one and two dimensions.
Continuous compoundingInterest earned on an investment, or due on a loan, is usually compounded. On occasions, interest is compounded continuously, which has the effect of increasing the amount of interest.

Developing a statistical advisory service through effective partnershipsStatistical Advisory Services are an innovative and valued approach to providing statistical advice centrally to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students. This paper reflects on the experiences of a new UK university in developing such a service through a HE STEM Practice Transfer Adopters partnership project. The Projectâ??s adopted strategies to partner with other university stakeholders are evaluated. In particular, partnerships with faculty- based staff and running staff development training courses are identified as effective development strategies.

Developing Graduate Skills in HE Mathematics ProgrammesA series of short case studies have been collected, each focused on specific graduate skills, providing examples of ways in which these have been successfully developed through curricular initiatives. There is a wide variety of work reported, both in terms of the skills developed as well as the type of courses and institutions involved. This report was edited by Jeff Waldock. This report is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.
Developing the Interface between Engineering and Mathematics at Edinburgh UniversityA few years ago the department of mathematics at Edinburgh looked at the problem of interfacing between mathematics and engineering courses and came up with a system to enable greater student understanding. The implementation of this system and how it is helping students is reviewed in this case study.
Diagnostic Driven Support at UMISTStudents arriving in many of the UMIST departments are required to take a brief maths test on arrival. Mathematics students who underachieve on this test are assigned some questions relevant to sections where they did poorly and also referred to sections from texts and Internet notes. The student�¢??s attempt at the assigned questions acts as a basis for a feedback session. Certain students in other departments (receiving mathematics as a service course) are asked to complete a computerised assignment on areas where they underachieved. Again, they are provided with references to texts and Internet notes.

Diagnostic Testing and Student SupportStudents on Engineering awards at UWE come from a range of academic backgrounds that include A2/AS-Level, B-TEC, Foundation year, overseas qualifications and mature students who in some cases are returning to education after an absence of over ten years. Ensuring that individuals from such a diverse population can develop the necessary mathematical skills and knowledge to cope with the demands of an Engineering award is clearly difficult. In this case study we describe the development of diagnostic testing at UWE and its role in a strategy for teaching mathematics to a large mixed ability group.
Diagnostic Testing for MathematicsA comprehensive collection of case studies,
intended to assist you with the challenge of enhancing the basic
mathematical skills of engineering or science students. These case studies
focus particularly on diagnostic testing.
