Communication and Presentation Skills Course PackThis Course Pack offers the resources from a course, titled Communication and Presentation Skills, which sought to teach students how to present numerate information, at an appropriate level, to various kinds of audience. The course sought to develop five key skills in particular: the communication of ideas through speech; the vocal skills needed to speak effectively; the verbal description of quantitative data; the oral interpretation of diagrams and graphs; and, engagement with the audience. The sessions involved active participation by the students, with teamwork an essential element. The materials for the Communication and Presentation Skills course were devised, written and delivered by Eileen Cunningham, Lesley Harper, Shamim Khan, Hendryk Korzeniowski, Gordon Blower and James Groves This resource is free for educational use at UK universities. It is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.

Completing the Square - by InspectionIn this unit we consider how quadratic expressions can be written in an equivalent form using the technique known as completing the square. This technique has applications in a number of areas, but we will see an example of its use in solving a quadratic equation.

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.
Coventry University's Mathematics Support Centre's WebsiteThe Mathematics Support Centre at Coventry University (originally known as the BP Maths Centre) was established in 1991. The Centre aims to provide early identification of problems and on-going support for individual students. This is achieved through use of diagnostic testing, the provision of a wide range of resources and the availability of one-to-one assistance on drop-in basis. The Centre�?�¢??s website was launched in September 2000 to:
- extend the support provision to students who did not find it easy to visit the Centre (e.g. part-time students).
- provide access to a range of resources at times when the Centre is closed.
- deliver new support activities such as online practice tests and email questions.

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.
