A mathematica‐based CAL matrix‐theory tutor for scientists and engineers

Under the TLTP initiative, the Mathematics Departments at Imperial College and Leeds University are jointly developing a CAL method directed at supplementing the level of mathematics of students entering science and engineering courses from diverse A‐level (or equivalent) backgrounds. The aim of the joint project is to maintain — even increase ‐ the number of students enrolling on such first‐year courses without lowering the courses’ existing mathematical standards
