Higher / A Level Maths Refreshers
Series Description: Many courses across the university assume students are confident with the maths topics covered at school (e.g. vectors, trigonometry and calculus). These sessions (and the associated resources) will help students fill any gaps in their maths knowledge so they can succeed in their chosen subject - see below for a full list of topics.
There is no need to attend all the sessions - just pick the ones most relevant to you.
Target Audience: This course is designed for students who have SQA Higher (or A Level) Maths as a prerequisite for their course, but who may need a reminder or a chance to build their confidence.
