Introduction
The aim of this conference is to promote, explore and disseminate emerging good practice and research findings in Mathematics and Statistics teaching, learning, support and assessment. The conference will appeal to all those teaching Mathematics, Statistics or Numeracy, whether this is to specialist mathematical sciences students or students studying components of mathematics or statistics within their degree programmes (such as bioscience, chemistry, computer science, economics, engineering, nursing, physics, psychology, social work, etc.).
The conference will explore a wide range of issues relevant to the entire student learning experience in higher education – from foundation year through to post-graduate level. This will be achieved by a combination of key-note speeches, plenary sessions, hands-on demonstrations, workshops, poster sessions and discipline-specific discussion sessions.
