The mathcentre - 31 March 2010

I am a 50 year-old father of a 10 year-old son. I have been helping him with his maths, so far from memory of my own school days. Although I do have avery good long-term memory, things had started to get....difficult.
Then I found your site on the net. I would like to say thank you! I can only wish that you had been my teacher at school. Maybe now I will at last find a use for the area under the curve! (Actually, I am about to lay lino in the bathroom and the toilet pedastal WAS giving me some trouble, but...NO MORE! Once again, a big thank you.

Thanks for mathcentre! 15 January 2010

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for providing the resources at mathcentre. I'm a PhD student at Leeds, trying to learn the economics I need to do the analysis I want to complete. As well as some private maths lessons, I've been using mathcentre to plug holes in my learning (I dropped out before A level). I'm now about to start an OU course - mathematical methods and modelling.

The teach yourself booklets are brilliant. I've bought books to help: they're all very pretty, but actually not particularly great. I've found myself sticking to the stuff on your website: it's considerably less patronising, but much clearer for that, and always aware of what a distance learner like myself needs to know (small things so often missed.)

I am writing to thank you so much for the free online materials for maths.  I am taking an engineering course and got a bit nervous about the maths, so thank you so very much.

Thank you - 12 January 2010

I would just like to express thanks for such a wonderful website.  I am currently 34, in full time employment with family commitments and in the first year of  a distance learning BSc in Banking & Finance.  At the moment I have been struggling with my first unit in mathematics.  Having achieved a GCSE grade C sixteen years ago, to say I have found things challenging is an understatement.  Yesterday I discovered your wonderful website and in a short period of time it has provided me with fantastic information sheets and videos on cubic equations & polynomials (the recent brick wall I had come up against).  Your resources have given me real hope of success and a renewed enthusiasm for my studies.  I can’t thank you enough and hope that your excellent work can continue.

Differentiation - 4 January 2010

Just to thank you for your brilliant explanation of differentiation on the Math Centre website.  I am 50 and studied A Level maths in the 70’s (very badly!)  My daughter is at Manchester Uni studying for an MEng not having done any A Level Maths.  No-one had actually explained the concept  of differentiation to us before, nor described the language used. Your ‘lesson’ has switched lights on for both of us. Having taught primary maths I know how important, and how confusing, the language and notation of maths can be – and clearly so do you, although on a different level.

Permission to link to site? 29 December 2009

The real reason for this note is that I am writing you to ask permission to both link to your material, and I would like to use some of your material (directly off your site) in conjunction with my high school Alg 2 course. 

mathcentre - 17 September 2009

I’d just like to say that this resource is brilliant and I use this with my mathematics classes as the subjects are easy to understand and well presented. I also refer them to the iPod downloads.
