Disciplinary Resources for SSCI

The Chemistry Add-in for Word makes it easier to insert and modify chemical information, such as labels, formulas, and 2-D depictions, within Microsoft Office Word. Additionally, it enables the creation of inline “chemical zones,” the rendering of print-ready visual depictions of chemical structures, and the ability to store and expose chemical information in a semantically rich manner.

Maths E.G. is collection of Mathematics questions with examples of fully-worked solutions to help students with their study. Most of the questions are at A-level standard, but some are at university level.

Under a Creative Commons licence, Maths E.G. is free to use for any educational purpose. The student version is available at: http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk:8081/mathseg/

The instructor version and more content will follow by end of 2011. If you are interested to hear more about this work, you may contact Martin.Greenhow@BRUNEL.AC.UK.

Put together by the Duke University Library, this is a collection of Physics related materials including links to Societies, Reference Help, Fun, Databases, Electronic Journals, Educational Materials, Preprints and Publishers.

The MVT has won a number of awards including the 2005 MERLOT Classics Award for its contribution to the development of effective teaching and learning tools in Mathematics. The site "consists of a collection of plotting and solving applets featuring a uniform user interface to help visualizing mathematical concepts". The Calculus Resources in particular provides many resource links and you can also directly contact the MVT team to get more information on how to utilize the Toolkit in teaching and learning.
