Wheelchair access to the ground floor is via the front doors of the building.
Introduction
The aim of this conference is to promote, explore and disseminate effective 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 in higher education, whether this is to specialist mathematics students or students studying components of mathematics within their degree programmes (such as bioscience, chemistry, computer science, economics, engineering, nursing, physics, psychology, social work, etc.).
The conference will explore the following themes :
· Assessment
· The independent learner
· Practitioner research
· Mathematics, mind and brain
· Evaluating support centres
· Higher level and postgraduate teaching
· Outreach and public engagement
· Innovative Practice
