These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).

Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.

• Solving Quadratic Equations
  This unit is about the solution of quadratic equations. These take the form ax²+bx+c = 0. We will look at four methods: solution by factorisation, solution by completing the square, solution using a formula, and solution using graphs. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
