Math Help Rooms

The Math Department operates the Lab Calculus, Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra, and Probability Help Rooms to provide assistance to students in these courses. Students are invited to drop by help rooms whenever they are open; no appointment is necessary.  The help rooms are staffed by undergraduate Teaching Assistants hired by the Math department.

Operational Policies

The Fire Marshal limit on attendance in Classroom 132 is 20 and 137 is 35. It is rare to have that many students in the room at once, but if attendance is at that level when you arrive, please wait in the area in the hall until attendance has reduced.  TAs are asked to make sure that the number of people in the room stays within the required limits. 

Please do not take chairs from nearby rooms. There should already be sufficient seating in the Help Rooms, which meets the Fire Marshal limit.
