The Geomaths MathHelp material

Please note the Geomaths MathHelp material pages are not being maintained.
The Geomaths Quiz is also no longer accessible.

This is part of the IMAGE project, a joint Geological Sciences/ Mathematics/ HERDU project funded by the HEFCE as part of the Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL) program.

The aim is to provide students with mathematics self-study material which is embedded within the context of the students' own discipline, namely Geological Sciences.

The material consists of many MathHelp "notebooks" covering specific mathematical topics, accessed through a relevant geological context. The notebooks contain explanations, illustrations, examples and practice quizzes.

Currently "revision" and "1st level" modules are available, corresponding roughly to pre-A level and A-level standard respectively. The "2nd-level" material is currently being developed, for students of Geological Sciences who have A level Mathematics or equivalent.

A mathematical "glossary" is also constantly available, providing a brief explanation of mathematical keywords and links to the relevant notebook.

The standard entry point to the system for students of Geological Sciences is the Geomath Front Page.

An alternative entry point for access to the mathematics material without the geological contexts is the MathHelp Home Page.

The following map gives an overview of the system.
