Quick Reference (2)
Fractions
This leaflet reminds students how to express a fraction in its simplest form, and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 1.1)
Mathematical Symbols and Abbreviations
This leaflet provides information on symbols and notation commonly used in mathematics. It shows the meaning of a symbol and, where necessary, an example and an indication of how the symbol would be said. For further information from mathcentre resources, a search phrase is given. This Quick Reference leaflet is contributed to the mathcentre Community Project by Janette Matthews and reviewed by Tony Croft, University of Loughborough.
Teach Yourself (7)
Decimals
In this unit we shall look at the meaning of decimals, and how they are related
to fractions. We shall then look at rounding to given numbers of decimal places
or significant figures. Finally we shall take a brief look at irrational numbers.
Fractions - adding and subtracting
In this unit we shall see how to add and subtract fractions. We shall also see
how to add and subtract mixed fractions by turning them into improper
fractions.
Fractions - basic ideas
What are fractions? Fractions are ways of writing parts of whole numbers. For
example if we take a pizza, and divide it up equally between 4 people, each
person will have 1/4 or, written in words, one quarter of the pizza.
Percentages
In this unit we shall look at the meaning of percentages and carry out
calculations involving percentages. We will also look at the use of the
percentage button on calculators.
Ratios
A ratio is a way of comparing two or more similar quantities, by writing two
or more numbers separated by colons. The numbers should be whole numbers, and
should not include units.
Rules of arithmetic
Evaluating expressions involving numbers is one of the basic tasks in
arithmetic. But if an expression is complicated then it may not be clear
which part of it should be evaluated first, and so some rules must be
established. There are also rules for calculating with negative numbers.
Sigma notation
Sigma notation is a method used to write out a long sum in a concise way. In
this unit we look at ways of using sigma notation, and establish some useful
rules.

Third Party Resources (1)
biomathtutor
biomathtutor presents students with a filmed bioscience-based scenario and guides them through some of the mathematics they need to understand and grow confident and competent in using routinely. The case-study scenario, covering practical aspects of haematology and microbiology, is presented via a narrated film, 24 min in length, but divided up into short sections. The film tracks the diagnosis and treatment of a student with anaemia and a throat infection and links the clinical findings and diagnoses to 33 interactive questions and relevant maths tutorials. An additional 24 interactive questions cover the same range of basic mathematical concepts presented in similar biological contexts, with a view to reinforcing students' learning.
biomathtutor was developed by Vicki Tariq (University of Central Lancashire), John Heritage and Tom Roper (University of Leeds), Andrew Bond (University of Westminster), Mike Tribe (University of Sussex) and the EBS Trust. It was funded by HEFCE through its National Teaching Fellowship Scheme.
