Unimaths

Unimaths Intro Workbook assists in the transition from high school to first year university mathematics. During this transition, South African students are subjected to a steep learning curve which results in many being forced to repeat a year or, worse, drop out. The Unimaths approach is to target the shock of this transition. It must be pointed out that this is not the only factor contributing to the issue, time management and work load being others, but it is widely accepted as being the root cause of the current, unacceptably high rate of attrition. To address this shock factor, Unimaths Intro provides the soon-to-be student with a gentle introduction to the foundations of first year university mathematics. This is achieved over 15, easy to digest lessons, each taking approximately 2 hours to complete. The workbook is presented in a self-study format and can easily be completed within two weeks or spread out over a whole year. Unimaths Intro is also powered by Paper Video. After having worked through Unimaths Intro, the shock of being introduced to unfamiliar ideas and symbols is instead replaced with familiarity, giving the student a good start to a challenging year.
