Resource type The form Rcos(x-a)
In this unit we explore how the sum of two trigonometric functions e.g.3 cos x plus 4 sin x, can be expressed as a single trigonometric function. Having the ability to do this enables us to solve trigonometric equations and find maximum and minimum values.

Resource type Mathematical Tools for Physical Sciences and Systems Biology
This leaflet is a summary of common mathematical definitions and properties used in the Physical Sciences and Systems Biology contributed to the mathcentre Community Project by Dr Morgiane Richard, University of Aberdeen and reviewed by Mamen Romano and Ian Stansfield, University of Aberdeen.
Resource type Tangents and Normals
This unit explains how differentiation can be used to calculate the equations of the tangent and normal to a curve. The tangent is a straight line which just touches the curve at a given point. The normal is a straight line which is perpendicular to the tangent.

Resource type Equations of a straight line
In this unit we find the equation of a straight line, when we are given some information about the line. The information could be the value of its gradient, together with the co-ordinates of a point on the line. Alternatively, the information might be the co-ordinates of two different points on the line. There are several different ways of expressing the final equation, and some are more general than others.
Resource type Conic sections
In this unit we study the conic sections. These are the curves obtained when a cone is cut by a plane. We find the equations of one of these curves, the parabola, by using an alternative description in terms of points whose distances from a fixed point and a fixed line are equal. We also find the equation of a tangent to a parabola using techniques from calculus, and we use this to prove the reflective property of the parabola.

Resource type Process Systems Engineering - A Course in Computing and Numerical Methods for Second Year Chemical Engineers
We describe a course aimed at providing chemical engineering students with an understanding of the fundamental classes of equations which occur in chemical engineering, the mathematical basis of their numerical solution methods and the basic methods of implementing these in a high level computing language. The course thus integrates elements of both conceptual and practical mathematics and computing.
