Article Abstract:

The director of the Mathematics Support Centre at Coventry University discusses the services offered by the Centre and the benefits it provides to students struggling with maths. The Centre was initially formed when the mathematics department of the university recognised that more and more new university students were in need of additional maths tutelage and approached BP, oil company, with the aim of establishing a facility where students who had problems with maths could come and receive help and guidance.

A ship's evolution from globetrotter to coastguard

Article Abstract:

The founder of the Scottish Institute of Maritime Studies at the University of St Andrews describes his efforts to locate the Beagle, the ship on which Charles Darwin traveled around the world developing his ideas about evolution. It is suggested that the Beagle worked until around 1870 for the English Coastguard service, helping top combat smuggling, after which it was sold off, probably to be broken up.

In the Green Man's shadow

Article Abstract:

It is argued that what is key to the preservation of the woods is to understand the past so that we can make informed decisions about the present and thereby influence the future.
