“Your world has changed. You’ve left the comforts of home and school and entered the unknown world of university. And the unknowns include a bit more maths than you had expected. Where do you turn?”
This is the experience of so many students at the transition to university. Their courses in engineering in the physical sciences and many other disciplines demand an understanding of basic mathematics which they feel they lack. Sometimes they do; sometimes their understanding just needs reinforcement they need to get another angle on it. Whatever the problem it’s good to have a maths support centre at hand and nearly half UK universities do. For the rest and for those times when the support centre is not available or the tutor is somewhere else there will soon be somewhere to turn.
