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. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

The geometry of a circleIn this unit we find the equation of a circle, when we are told its centre and
its radius. There are two different forms of the equation, and you should be
able to recognise both of them. We also look at some problems involving
tangents to circles.

The impact of maths support tutorials on mathematics confidence and academic performance in a cohort of HE Animal Science studentsStudents embarking on a bioscience degree course, such as Animal Science, often do not have sufficient experience in mathematics. However, mathematics forms an essential and integral part of any bioscience degree and is essential to enhance employability. This paper presents the findings of a project looking at the effect of mathematics tutorials on a cohort of first year animal science and management students. The results of a questionnaire, focus group discussions and academic performance analysis indicate that small group tutorials enhance students’ confidence in maths and improve students’ academic performance. Furthermore, student feedback on the tutorial programme provides a deeper insight into student experiences and the value students assign to the tutorials.

The Internet Librarian and Curator of Mathematics VideosThis website links to selected, reviewed and academically-validated mathematics video tutorials. The vast size and lack of discrimination in the results of an internet search make it hard for students to identify suitable resources and to know whether they are relevant and reliable.

The redesign of a quantitative literacy class: student responses to a labbased formatNicole Scherger (2013). The redesign of a quantitative literacy class: student responses to a lab based
format, Teaching Mathematics and its Applications 2013 32(4), 206-213 doi:
10.1093/teamat/hrt003.
The purpose of this study was to observe students’ retention, success and attitudes towards mathematics in a community college quantitative literacy course, taught in a lab-based format. The redesigned course implemented the daily use of Microsoft Excel in the classroom demonstrations, group activities and individual assignments, and utilized data from many fields of study. Results showed statistically significant growth in attitudes towards real-world application problems, the use of computers in mathematics, and the consideration of taking additional mathematics courses. There was also marginally significant growth in students’ attitudes towards the relevance and utility of mathematics. Higher retention and success rates in the redesigned course were also observed, although those rates were not found to be statistically significant.
The slope-intercept formThis leaflet explains the slope-intercept form of an equation describing a straight-line.

The sum of an infinite seriesIn this unit we see how finite and infinite series are obtained from finite and
infinite sequences. We explain how the partial sums of an infinite series form
a new sequence, and that the limit of this new sequence (if it exists) defines
the sum of the series. We also consider two specific examples of infinite
series that sum to e and pi respectively.
