Process Systems Engineering - A Course in Computing and Numerical Methods for Second Year Chemical EngineersWe 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.
Conic sectionsIn 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. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Use of Mathcad to Assist in the Teaching of Second Year Engineering MathematicsMathcad is used in all years of the engineering mathematics course to enable students of civil engineering to investigate real engineering problems which have no analytical solution but which illustrate important mathematical concepts. In the second year engineering mathematics course Mathcad is used to assist in the teaching of numerical solutions of second order boundary value differential equations. Comparisons are made between classical analytical solutions and the numerical solutions.
Maths EGComputer-aided assessment of maths, stats and numeracy from GCSE to undergraduate level 2. These resources have been made available under a Creative Common licence by Martin Greenhow and Abdulrahman Kamavi, Brunel University.
Maths EG Teacher InterfaceThe teacher interface for Maths EG which may be used for computer-aided assessment of maths, stats and numeracy from GCSE to undergraduate level 2. These resources have been made available under a Creative Common licence by Martin Greenhow and Abdulrahman Kamavi, Brunel University. Teachers need to register (top right of screen) and thereafter login to use the system, after which they may use it to compose their own tests by selecting (specifically or randomly) questions from the entire database of questions. Instructions are available from the title page.
a cos x +b sin x = Rcos(x-a)In this unit we explore how the sum of two trigonometric functions can be expressed as a single trigonometric function.
Cosecant, Secant and CotangentThis unit explains what is meant by these three trigonometric ratios.
Graphs of the corresponding functions are provided.

Diagnostic Testing within Institutions - Cardiff UniversityAll students are assessed using a paper-based, but optically marked, written test of 12 multi-choice questions (MCQs). The test covers algebraic simplification, approximation, logs, trigonometry and calculus. It is based on a test developed at Coventry University. It is used to assess students' strengths upon entry.

Hyperbolic functionsThe hyperbolic functions have similar names to the trigonmetric functions,
but they are defined in terms of the exponential function. In this unit we
define the three main hyperbolic functions, and sketch their graphs. We also
discuss some identities relating these functions, and mention their inverse
functions and reciprocal functions.
