Piece of Cake, A
- Synopsis
- Illustrates the steps involved in the mathematical modelling cycle, using as an example the need to produce a model for the baking time and a cake of given weight. The model is developed in a discussion among a baker, a mathematician and a layman. Cakes are baked to generate data for the model, and issues concerning the control of the experiments are raised.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
