Success with Mathematics

Many students find the leap between school- and university-level mathematics to be significantly greater than they expected. Success with Mathematics has been devised and written especially in order to help students bridge that gap. It offers clear, practical guidance from experienced teachers of mathematics in higher education on such key issues as: getting ready; ways of studying; using calculators; learning by doing; mathematics communication; studying with technology; doing assignments; preparing for examinations; and resources. After reading this book, students should find themselves much better prepared for the change in pace, rigour and abstraction they encounter in degree level mathematics. They should also find themselves able to broaden their learning strategies and improve their self-directed study skills. This book therefore should be useful reading for anyone following or about to undertake a degree in mathematics or other degree courses with mathematical content.
