Mathematics online material

Paper-based resources

The national math centre contains many paper-based resources covering a wide range of topics. The quick reference leaflets are ideal to use if you need a refresher. However if you are new to the topic area or need more explanation then teach-yourself booklets are more ideal. You can download and print these resources and work through them in your own time and at your own place.

 

Just the maths   'Just the Maths' is a collection of separate units, in chronological topic-order, intended to service foundation level and first year degree level courses. All units are presented as PDF files. The techniques are demonstrated by worked examples and reinforced by exercises. Answers to exercises are supplied at the end of each unit of work

 

The website gives free access to Open University course materials. This is the LearningSpace where you'll find hundreds of free study units, each with a discussion forum. Study independently at your own pace or join a group and use the free learning tools to work with others.
