The Mathematical Transition: A Multi-Stage Problem?

As Director of the National HE STEM Programme I am immensely proud of all areas of its work, but one that I continue to take particular personal and professional interest in is the teaching and learning of mathematics at the transition to university. This naturally reflects my background within the Higher Education Academy Maths, Stats & OR Network, but more so the fact that I also teach both Foundation and First Year mathematics courses at two Russell Group universities.
