hi there my name is David Hodge I'm here to help you learn the engineering maths 2
stuff I've created a website for you primarily it's kind of self-guided
stuff in that I'm pointing you towards resources to go and read but there's
also discussion forum where I'm very happy to help support you through learning the
stuff so my preferred method for you to contact me would be to use the
discussion forum it might evolve slightly over the summer but primarily
use the discussion forum but you'll have my email address as well if needed the
main thing I stressed for you is that in order to get to learn the stuff you need to
practice so read the content on the website
try the exercises try some more exercises and then try other resources
as it helps you down as well I like to do a quick overview in a moment okay so
it should be me in the corner here and this is the website we're gonna be using
so you'll all probably found the website because in fact you've find this video I'll just
okay moment let's have a look so do you have a look at the introductory message
have a welcome video that's what we're already on now there's a discussion forum so
that's the place I recommend you use to ask immediate questions and then
there's three more sections here I won't talk about the bottom one for now the
main two are this main course materials and the pre course materials pre course
materials what we've got is some try at home questions so this covers revision
topics so have a look in here I work through these questions to see what
level you're at whether those things you want to do in revision before you get
started and then this revision learning plan here the topics here these are the
topics that are covered in the try at home questions and for each topic there's
three different sources of online notes you can look at and I've gone through
ranking them as well so you'll see for ...[...] simplification and factorization for
example that the HELM notes HELM course notes which is 'helping
engineers learn maths' are the ones I recommend
there's some Khan Academy ones as well that you can use MathCentre in this
case didn't have a brilliant video for me to link you to
so I didn't bother to link one there so have a look through this revision topics
there's a summary page about each topic which should summarize what's in that
topic for you before you dive into all the content
and if I close that for a moment the main course materials will look very
similar later there's a main learning plan which covers all the 13 topics
you'll see you down here go back up to the top in each topic
I suggest you click the summary page have a look at the summary and then pick
one of these three sections and work through the content that way as you're
going along there's also a progress checklist you can use with questions on
each topic for you to see how you're getting on what you're feeling comfortable with
.. how well you're learning all right I'll stop there for
now just a final thing to say is please make sure that you arrange to meet me in
the first few days once you've started ... we'll arrange a face-to-face
meeting online of course and I can check everything is going okay and all
that kind of stuff and get you going okay best wishes bye for now
