Resource type Employer Engagement in Undergraduate Mathematics
It 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.
Resource type Evaluating definite integrals
This leaflet explains what is meant by a definite integral and how it can be evaluated. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.9)
Resource type 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.
Resource type Evaluation of mathematics support centres: a literature review
Janette Matthews, Tony Croft, Duncan Lawson, and Dagmar Waller. (2013) Evaluation of mathematics support centres: a literature review. Teaching Mathematics Applications. first published online September 3, 2013 doi:10.1093/teamat/hrt013 Mathematics Support Centres (MSCs) have been established at universities in the UK and a number of other countries, of which colleagues from Australia and Ireland have been the most prolific in publishing about their work. Their main functions are to address issues surrounding the transition to university mathematics and to support students’ learning of mathematics and statistics across the wide variety of undergraduate courses. There is a growing body of research examining the operation and impact of MSCs. This article will review and synthesize available published research evidence so that informed decisions can be made about the value of mathematics support activity and the targeting of future funding. Evidence will be shown of the evaluation of MSCs in each of the following areas: the collection of data and the challenges that are presented in both quantitative and qualitative studies; analysis demonstrating MSC usage and activity; analysis showing the impact of MSCs on students, staff and the institution. The article will conclude by identifying areas where further research would be helpful.
Resource type Evaluation of the University of Limerick Mathematics Learning Centre
In 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.
Resource type Factorising quadratics
This leaflet explains how quadratic expression can be factorised by inspection. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.6)
Resource type Factorising quadratics - Numbas
3 questions on factorising quadratics. The second question also asks for the roots of the quadratic. The third question involves factorising quartic polynomials but which are quadratics in $x^2$. Numbas resources have been made available under a Creative Commons licence by the School of Mathematics & Statistics at Newcastle University.
Resource type Factorising simple expressions
Factorising 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.

Resource type Finding areas by integration
This unit looks at how to calculate the area bounded by a curve using integration.
Resource type Finding areas by integration
Integration can be used to calculate areas. In simple cases, the area is given by a single definite integral. But sometimes the integral gives a negative answer which is minus the area, and in more complicated cases the correct answer can be obtained only by splitting the area into several parts and adding or subtracting the appropriate integrals.
