How do you feel about the mathematics in your course materials? It is quite possible that you do not feel as confident as you would like. If you have not done any mathematics recently, you may feel that you need to refresh your memory or there may be a specific topic that you never really fully understood.

Other students have said:

When I'm faced with a triangle, I never know which trig ratio to use.

I'm alright until I get to the point where a question asks me to use logs to solve a problem, then my mind goes blank.

This unit is one in a series of Student Toolkits; there are others to help you with such things as note taking, essay and report writing, effective use of English, revision and examinations, and working with charts, graphs and tables.
