How to Succeed in Your Mathematics Courses

There are a number of services to help you do well in your classes:

Tutoring: The math department offers free tutoring, starting one week after classes and running through finals week. Tutoring is available for all 1000 and 2000 level math department classes, as well as Math 3070-3080 (Applied Statistics) and Math 3150-3160 (Engineering math). Tutoring is located in the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Student Center (beneath the plaza between LCB and JWB). For more information check in the Math department office, JWB 233, 801-581-6851, or on our web pages.

The University offers paid tutoring through the ASUU Tutoring Center. You make an appointment with a tutor who will meet with you individually. There is a fee for this service.

Or you can obtain a list of private tutors from the math department office (233 JWB) or the desk in the math tutoring center.
