Hi,

Has anyone ever taught english as a support for those doing a foundation course for a maths degree?
Besides giving help with vocabulary for mathematical symbols, are there any other ideas?

Any suggestions welcome!

You may find very easily the title English for Maths in the Nucleus Series.

should give you access to a wide range of math-sites in English, on all conceivable levels.

You might want to have them work on math-problems slightly below their level, just to the extent that they understand what's being demanded, and that they can come up with an outline of a plan as to how they would tackle the problem.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. I'm a math graduate currently teaching English.
