Abstract
University courses that are (albeit remotely) related to a technical subject such as science or engineering involve a basic knowledge of mathematics. Although this is a subject all students come into close and continual contact with during their schooldays, the passage from secondary to tertiary education is considered particularly problematic regarding the challenges students encounter when being confronted with university mathematics (cf. Gueudet, 2008; Bruder et al., 2010).
