Extract

There is a widely held view that the jump from school to university mathematics is a big one. Recently James and Fiala have dealt respectively with the interdependence of school and university courses and the teaching of mathematics at university level. It seemed pertinent to obtain the views and opinions of students at the start of their mathematical studies at university.
