What better Bank Holiday Weekend activity could there be than getting all your TMUA support in order, ready for your eager-beaver TMUA-hungry students when they return to school/college in the depressingly near future? With luck, I'll figure out how to add comments to this post with useful links.

Trig integration gets tricky. Similar-looking integrals need quite different approaches. Here is a resource to build confidence in choosing methods for trig integration using reverse chain rule or trig identities. Review exercise at the end. Answers too. It's at www.tes.com/teaching-res...

Good job someone's written free notes on logic and proof (with exercises) to support the poor students trying to get their heads around only ifs, necessary and sufficient conditions and the like: at www.tes.com/teaching-res... Made a hash of the upload to TES, but it's all in there somewhere...

Oxford is switching from MAT to TMUA for Maths, Computer Science, and joint honours, as part of a wider move to UAT-UK tests. See www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/tmua for info and resources. As you can imagine, our website says MAT in lots of places, please bear with us as we change them all to TMUA! ^James

More TMUA preparation material. Slide to show various logical equivalents. I always turn "A only if B" into something else from this page that my brain finds easier to process, like "A implies B". It might help students who get stuck with deciding about necessary and sufficient conditions, etc.
