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 the last week of classes. Tutoring is available for pre Calculus, Calculus, Applied Statistics and 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.
Mathematics Library: The Mathematics Library is located in room 120 of the John Widtsoe Building. You can check out books, and study and work here. For opening times call 801-581-6208 or 801-581-6273.
How to be a GREAT Math Student: There is a book by Richard Manning Smith, "Mastering Mathematics --- How to be a GREAT Math Student", 3rd edition, Brooks/Cole Publishing Co., 1998. There are a couple of copies on reserve in the Math Library.
Internet Resources: A great deal of information, including current class schedules, is available on the world wide web. Start at our home page. You may be particularly interested in a study guide written specifically for undergraduate students taking mathematics courses.
Computing Labs: If you are a student in any of our classes you automatically receive a computing account on our systems. For information on activating that account call 801-581-5257 or 801-581-5252. You may use the computer lab in the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Center (located beneath the plaza between LCB and JWB) or the computer lab in 205 South Physics.
The Math Office: The offices of the Department of Mathematics are located in room 233 of the John Widtsoe Building. Drop by if you have any questions. Our phone number is 801-581-6851, our fax number 801-581-4148, and you can send e-mail to Kelly MacArthur (our Undergraduate Advisor) or Henryk Hecht (our Associate Chair).
