00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:04.080
hi there my name is David Hodge I'm here
to help you learn the engineering maths 2

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.480
stuff I've created a website for you
primarily it's kind of self-guided

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.809
stuff in that I'm pointing you towards
resources to go and read but there's

00:00:12.809 --> 00:00:16.350
also discussion forum where I'm very
happy to help support you through learning the

00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:20.160
stuff so my preferred method for you to
contact me would be to use the

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.609
discussion forum it might evolve
slightly over the summer but primarily

00:00:23.609 --> 00:00:27.330
use the discussion forum but you'll have
my email address as well if needed the

00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:30.179
main thing I stressed for you is that in
order to get to learn the stuff you need to

00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:33.140
practice so read the content on the
website

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:37.770
try the exercises try some more
exercises and then try other resources

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:43.530
as it helps you down as well I like to
do a quick overview in a moment okay so

00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:46.789
it should be me in the corner here and
this is the website we're gonna be using

00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:52.170
so you'll all probably found the website
because in fact you've find this video I'll just

00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:57.020
okay moment let's have a look so do you
have a look at the introductory message

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:02.789
have a welcome video that's what we're already on now there's a discussion forum so

00:01:02.789 --> 00:01:09.270
that's the place I recommend you use
to ask immediate questions and then

00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:11.549
there's three more sections here I won't
talk about the bottom one for now the

00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:15.420
main two are this main course materials
and the pre course materials pre course

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:20.520
materials what we've got is some try at
home questions so this covers revision

00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:26.490
topics so have a look in here I work
through these questions to see what

00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:29.220
level you're at whether those things you
want to do in revision before you get

00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:33.900
started and then this revision learning
plan here the topics here these are the

00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:38.780
topics that are covered in the try at home
questions and for each topic there's

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:43.259
three different sources of online notes
you can look at and I've gone through

00:01:43.259 --> 00:01:47.729
ranking them as well so you'll see for
...[...] simplification and factorization for

00:01:47.729 --> 00:01:51.930
example that the HELM notes
HELM course notes which is 'helping

00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:54.509
engineers learn maths' are the ones I
recommend

00:01:54.509 --> 00:01:57.840
there's some Khan Academy ones as well
that you can use MathCentre in this

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.780
case didn't have a brilliant video for me to link you to

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:04.710
so I didn't bother to link one there so
have a look through this revision topics

00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:08.670
there's a summary page about each topic
which should summarize what's in that

00:02:08.670 --> 00:02:12.570
topic for you before you dive into all
the content

00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:18.250
and if I close that for a moment the
main course materials will look very

00:02:18.250 --> 00:02:23.050
similar later there's a main learning
plan which covers all the 13 topics

00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:27.700
you'll see you down here go back up to
the top in each topic

00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.880
I suggest you click the summary page
have a look at the summary and then pick

00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:36.940
one of these three sections and work
through the content that way as you're

00:02:36.940 --> 00:02:40.450
going along there's also a progress
checklist you can use with questions on

00:02:40.450 --> 00:02:44.170
each topic for you to see how you're
getting on what you're feeling comfortable with

00:02:44.170 --> 00:02:47.890
.. how well you're learning all right I'll stop there for

00:02:47.890 --> 00:02:54.790
now just a final thing to say is please
make sure that you arrange to meet me in

00:02:54.790 --> 00:02:57.220
the first few days once you've started
... we'll arrange a face-to-face

00:02:57.220 --> 00:03:03.640
meeting online of course and I can check everything is going okay and all

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:08.910
that kind of stuff and get you going
okay best wishes bye for now
