Foundation Mathematics is an all new digital learning
package designed to engage students and build their confidence
in mathematical techniques. This fully developed WileyPLUS
course is not another heavyweight, generic textbook but a
newly developed solution to meet students? learning
expectations in the 21stcentury.


Foundation Mathematics has been developed for
non-specialists studying mathematics as part of their degree
course who need to build up their mathematical skills. Starting
from basic concepts Foundation Mathematics introduces the
topics using unthreatening, illustrative media that ease
students into the theory and demonstrates how mathematical
concepts relate to straightforward, everyday ideas. This unique
approach quickly brings students of varying ability up to speed and
takes the anxiety out of studying mathematics.


Foundation Mathematics raises student
engagement through a variety of integrated and
contextualised tools and media embedded directly into the
course, giving students the opportunity to practice and play
with concepts for comprehension rather than having to read around
the subject. The package utilises video, animations, applets and
games so students can interact with mathematical concepts and
directly observe the data in action.


The package includes an extensive testing and assignment
facility containing over 2,000 unique questions, all with
algorithmic variables to give students endless opportunities
for practice and revision. The testing facility allows detailed
reporting so lecturers can quickly assess large cohorts and see
how well their students are dealing with the material and who needs
help.


Foundation Mathematics covers topics for foundation level
and year one courses, as well as extension material for those that
want to dig deeper into the theory, making the package ideal for
departments wishing to increase students? mathematical
understanding and raise student outcomes.
