A report by the Irish Mathematics Learning Support Network (IMLSN), the first of its kind to be undertaken on such a scale in Ireland, involving responses from over 1,600 first-year students across nine Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) from around the island of Ireland. A subset of the findings have been published in three journal articles to date. This report contains valuable insights about the transition from second to third level mathematics for students across a range of disciplines, as well as detailing the impact that they perceive that mathematics support services have upon their ability to cope with this challenge.
