What we offer

The Math Center offers free mathematics and statistics walk-in tutoring for students enrolled at the 推荐杏吧原创.There is no limit to how many times students can visit the lab during the semester or how long they stay.

Our 40 station computer lab is equipped to help students with traditional questions as well as online homework.

The Math Center also offers review sessions for exams in courses from Math126EE to Math330. Typically these sessions are 90 minutes and are held the day before or the day of the exam. Tutors leading the session go over review material provided by instructors. Students are expected to have gone over the material ahead of time and come in with questions.

At the end of the semester the Math Center holds its popular Final Review Rally. The Rally takes place on the Wednesday before finals (Prep Day) and the Sunday between finals. The Final Review Sessions are two hours long and provide an overview of the course.

Getting the most out of your visit

  • On your first visit to the Math Center let the front desk know; they will get you set up and give you more information.
  • Don't wait until just before the test to get help. Come early. Come often.
  • Sit with others from your course. You will learn better by working together and have a shorter wait time. Tutors can help students faster when people sit together.
  • Come prepared. Tutors will be more effective if you have your text and take good class notes.
  • Every semester students are required to sign our student policies form (listed below) upon their first visit to the Math Center.
