The Educational Broadcasting Services Trust with LTSN Engineering the LTSN Maths Stats & OR Network and a consortium of universities led by the University of Leeds are looking for Britain’s most engaging and confidence-building maths tutors to film for a new DVD-Rom and website for students making the transition to university.
Support with maths is now a priority particularly for students entering courses in engineering the physical sciences and mathematical sciences. The new DVD-Rom and website will include video action diagnostics interactive exercises and support text but a central feature will be the video tutorial. Topic by topic a tutor will lead the viewer the student through each step of the arithmetic the algebra the basic calculus that needs to be understood as a firm foundation for wider studies. This element in the producers’ recently published M4E Maths for Engineers DVD-Rom proved to be very popular with students and now there is an opportunity for two possibly three new tutors to join M4EtutorTom Roper in putting across their enthusiasm for the subject and sharing their understanding.
