Summary/Abstract: How might you design and implement an inquiry-based basic mathematics module for first-year students in biomedical sciences? What mathematical content would you choose? What decisions would you have to make? What issues would you have to address? How would you gain insight into students' learning? In this chapter, these questions are addressed relating to a first semester module in the first year of the bachelor programme Biomedical Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, which started in the study year 2018-2019.
