Mathematics and Statistics

Build your confidence in mathematics, statistics or numeracy. Work through self-study resources in your own time, or talk it through with a real person at espressoMaths, our free drop-by support service. Visit us in person or online, no appointment needed.

espressoMaths started in September 2008 and is run and funded by the College of Arts, Technology and Environment (CATE) Mathematics and Statistics subject area for all members of the University community.

Pop along to espressoMaths and have a chat with the staff member on duty, who will be able to provide you with free, user-friendly advice. The expected interaction time can be anything from ten minute to an hour (if there is no one else queuing). There's no need to book. 

You're also welcome to bring along a problem, a piece of analysis, or a set of results you've already worked through with an AI tool. The team can help you check, question and properly understand it.
