Anastasakis, Marinos; Zakynthinaki, Maria; Trujillo-González, Rodrigo; García-Alonso, Israel; Petridis, Konstantinos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper we explore the difficulties engineering undergraduates encounter with tertiary mathematics. Results from our survey (N = 71) show that students in our sample face issues mostly related to the challenging nature of university mathematics, the absence of worked examples during lectures and the discontinuity of school and university…

Anastasakis, Marinos; Lerman, Stephen – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Research exploring undergraduates' tool preferences in tertiary mathematics is currently limited. In this paper, we explore the tools mathematics and engineering students use when studying mathematics and the ways undergraduates combine these tools. Results from our survey (N = 628) showed that students in our sample use mostly their notes, the…
