Mathtutor

Mathtutor is a notable maths tutoring system developed at the University of Leeds and elsewhere in the North of England to bridge the gap from school to university, especially for students from disadvantaged areas. It incorporates video tutorials, diagnostics, summary text and exercises aiming "to bridge the gap from school to university study (in mathematics), to revise or find the maths topic you missed".

There are seven DVD-Rom disks which can also be worked online. They cover the following topics:
*Arithmetic
*Trigonometry
*Algebra
*Differentiation
*Functions, Graphs & Sequences
*Integration
*Geometry
*Vectors

The following institutions are also involved:

Mathtutor has been funded from the HEFCE Fund for the Development of Teaching & Learning and the Gatsby Technical Education Project in association with the (UK) Higher Education Academy.
