Arithmetic and Geometric ProgressionsThis unit introduces sequences and series, and gives some simple examples
of each. It also explores particular types of sequence known as arithmetic
progressions (APs) and geometric progressions (GPs), and the corresponding series. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Assessing the value: Maths WorkshopThis brief contribution from IAN BEVERIDGE (then of Luton University) is probably one of the first recorded notes which attempts to assess the effectiveness of a mathematics support centre (herein called a Workshop). It describes a workshop for access students, and its role in encouraging students to complete coursework assignments. It notes that a lower dropout rate is found in the subgroup of workshop attenders. However, it draws attentions to a perceived shortcoming which can result in creating and feeding dependency rather than independence amongst the students.
The note can be found in the Mathematics Support Association Newsletter No.2 (1994) (now disbanded, but available from the sigma website).

Being a Professional MathematicianThis booklet details the curriculum resources created by the project 'Being a Professional Mathematician'. This aimed to produce a collection of teaching resources on the development of mathematics - stories from history and more recent development of the discipline. These aimed to counter a view of mathematics as a static, completed body of knowledge and instead encourage awareness of the process of doing mathematics. They aimed to develop students' awareness of the culture of mathematics. This booklet gives details of the material created and discusses how this material may be used in the curriculum. This booklet was written by Tony Mann and Chris Good. This report is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.
