Abstract

Mathematics can be a stumbling block for many undergraduates - particularly in engineering. In recent years, there has been an increase in the amount and variety of support that has become available to help students who find mathematics difficult. MathinSite, funded initially through an internal award from Bournemouth University and more recently though NTFS funding, is just one such resource. Its primary aim is to deepen a student's understanding, and hence enjoyment, of mathematics using visualisations in the form of interactive, dynamic graphical software presentations (applets), theory sheets and tutorial worksheets - all freely available over the Internet from the MathinSite web site.
