Have a math question? Need help with that stats formula? Students can obtain assistance understanding concepts from a variety of quantitative-based subject areas – fundamentals, algebra, calculus, proofs, linear algebra, financial math, probability and statistics, economics, computer coding, etc.

Our drop-in sessions provide an informal peer-to-peer learning environment. No appointment is needed. 

During the Fall Reading Week, we do have a few opportunities to obtain drop-in assistance:

  • Virtual drop-in help:  Wed. Oct. 16 and Sun. Oct. 20, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
