Tutoring Schedule

The Math Center offers:

  • a place to study
  • peer tutors for free drop-in tutoring – no appointments necessary. Check the Virtual Math Center in the Moodle course (above) for the most up-to-date information about shifts. 
  • solutions manuals and alternative texts (for some classes)

Tutors can help with:

  • all 100-level and most 200-level math courses
  • general math questions, including from other courses or subjects
  • math questions in computer assignments, even if they are not familiar with the computer programs themselves

The Math Center is the hub of the department and the home base for the Math Club. Majors enjoy time with each other, discussing real work or real life, and the tutors welcome all others who would like to know more. Majors and non-majors alike use it as a valuable learning resource as well as a gathering place.
