Employer Engagement in Undergraduate MathematicsIt is important to take account of the needs of employers when developing graduate mathematicians. Some of the projects reported in this booklet have worked with employers, employees or professional bodies to develop research findings, good practice advice and curriculum resources to improve graduate skills. Others offer examples of approaches involving employers in delivery of teaching and assessment for work-related learning, and various models that can be used to place students within organisations for work-based learning. This report was edited by Jeff Waldock and Peter Rowlett. This report is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.

Euclidean GeometryDesigned for self-study, this drawing-led introduction to the geometry of Euclid takes the learner from first principles through to constructions and mathematical proofs as well as covering practical applications of the techniques learnt in art and design. It concludes with a study of the pentagon, golden ratio and their surprising mathematical interconnection. The resources comprise a 100-page booklet and supporting interactive resources. These resources have been created by Rich Cochrane and Andrew McGettigan (Central Saint Martins, UAL) and reviewed by Prof Jeremy Gray (Open University). They were funded by a sigma Resource Development grant and contributed to the mathcentre Community Project.

evaluation of mathematics support centres - a review of the literature (sigma)This sigma guide reviews published literature concerning the evaluation of mathematics support centres. There is a growing body of research studies, which have
looked into a number of areas such as: the establishment
of a MSC; the usage of MSCs and mechanisms for recording
usage data; feedback from students and staff and ways
to collect this; effects on achievement, pass rates and
retention rates; and the prevalence of MSCs in the higher
education sector. More recently researchers have begun
to examine the effects of MSCs on undergraduatesâ??
mathematics learning experiences and mathematical
confidence, and to address issues concerning students who
are â??at riskâ?? or underachieving and not engaging with the
facilities offered by their MSC.
This report reviews and synthesises all the available
published research evidence so that informed decisions can
be made about the value of mathematics support activity and
the targeting of future funding.
Evaluation of the University of Limerick Mathematics Learning CentreIn a time when mathematical unpreparedness is rife and learning support is most urgently needed, this investigation by Claire Carroll and supervised by Dr. Olivia Gill. (2011)
seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the mathematics learning centre in the University of Limerick. Qualitative and quantitative data on the impact of the mathematics learning centre on the students' mathematics education and students' attitudes towards mathematics were collected through the use of student questionnaires. Analysis of this data provides significant evidence that the mathematics learning centre is making an invaluable contribution to the mathematical experience of the students who are availing of its services. The results of this study strongly support the belief that mathematics learning centres have the potential to provide students with both the affective and cognitive support that is so critical to many of the students entering third level education presently.

Factorising simple expressionsThis leaflet explains how to factorise simple expressions by looking for common factors. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.5)
Factorising simple expressionsFactorising can be thought of as a reversal of the process of removing brackets. When we factorize an expression, it is written as a product of two or more terms, and these will normally involve brackets.
