The Math Center is an open work area where students can study or work on math assignments with assistance available. The staff of instructors, paraprofessionals, and student tutors will answer your questions and provide guidance for study. You can work independently or with a small group. Take advantage of this service...it's free and convenient. Just drop by with questions or call for more information.
The Math Center is located on the second floor (parking lot level) of the Library Building. The Math Center is across from Peer Tutoring and next to the Writing Center.
Anytime you come to the Math Center for help, we ask that you sign in on the Math Center's main computer (to help us keep track of the number of students who use the center). If you're not sure what to do, just ask any staff member wearing the orange "May I Help You" badge. Your math class instructor also may request that you sign in on his or her clipboard to verify time spent in the Math Center for course credit.
Students may study and work on math homework while in the Math Center. Students can also work with math software in the Math Center's Computer Lab. Several staff members are available-just raise your hand or check with any staff member with the orange badge for assistance.
Some math instructors have offices adjacent to the Math Center. You may check posted schedules to see when your instructor will be available either in his or her office or in the Math Center.
The Math Center has a wide variety of mathematics books that may be used for reference by students in the Math Center. There are also solutions manuals, study guides, tests and answer keys, and a variety of math equipment (protractors, compasses, rulers, etc.) available for sign-out and use in the center.
The Math center staff has compiled a detailed list of math videos and CD ROMs which are available for most math courses. The videos and CD ROMs are available in the main library for check out overnight or for two hours.
Several mathematics computer software programs including Derive and Minitab are available for use in the Math Center Computer Lab. These can be accessed via the Start Menu. A staff member can help you and explain the use of the programs.
Some instructors require students to complete a Gateway or Competency Test. The Math Center staff may coordinate these tests. See any Math Center staff member for details if your instructor assigns this test.
The Tutoring Center is located adjacent to the Math Center. Students may make weekly or biweekly appointments for one-on-one tutoring sessions with a Peer Tutor. Call LouAnn at 651-450-3693 for information or stop by the Learning Center.
