Using Technology in Mathematics to Enhance, Teaching, Learning, Assessment, Research and Employability

Using Technology in Mathematics to Enhance, Teaching, Learning, Assessment, Research and Employability, Dr Stephen Lynch (Manchester Metropolitan University)

Abstract

Can the use of Mathematics packages at A‐level make it a more popular subject to study at university? In Mathematics at MMU we wanted to attract and retain mathematics students and prepare them for careers upon graduation. By integrating Maths/Stats packages across the curriculum and solving real world problems we have managed to make the course highly desirable. Some technology to be discussed includes: Venue:  Room E32, John Dalton Building, Oxford Road, Manchester Metropolitan University No charge is made to attend meetings and non-members are welcome.
