Mathematics Help Sessions
How to Succeed in K-State Math Courses
Thirty-five years ago, the Department of Mathematics started a free tutorial program which is open to all students enrolled in MATH 100 College Algebra, MATH 150 Plane Trigonometry, MATH 205 General Calculus, MATH 220 Calculus I, MATH 221 Calculus II, MATH 222 Calculus III and MATH 240 Elementary Differential Equations. These Help Sessions are staffed by instructors in these courses. Here is the current Help Session Schedule. These Help Sessions end the last week of classes, but there are special Final Help Sessions during final exam week in the fall and spring. The Final Help Session Schedule is updated the week before final exams.
Our Advanced Level Help Sessions are open in the fall and spring to all students currently enrolled in MATH 506 Introduction to Number Theory, MATH 510 Discrete Mathematics, MATH 511 Introduction to Algebraic Systems, MATH 512 Introduction to Modern Algebra, MATH 515 Introduction to Linear Algebra, MATH 520 Foundations of Analysis, MATH 551 Applied Matrix Theory, MATH 560 Introduction to Topology, MATH 633 Advanced Calculus I and MATH 634 Advanced Calculus II. Here is the most recent Advanced Level Help Session Schedule.
The Academic Assistance Center provides free Tutoring in a variety of introductory courses and Walk-In Tutoring for several high-demand math courses. Students can sign up for tutoring in 101 Holton Hall. The only condition is that they have a tutor for the subject requested. Tutoring sessions are held at the Tutoring Center in 201 Leasure Hall (phone 532-5703). The Academic Assistance Center also offers Live Help Online for MATH 010 Intermediate Algebra, MATH 100 College Algebra, MATH 150 Plane Trigonometry, MATH 220 Calculus I, MATH 221 Calculus II, and MATH 222 Calculus III.
The Department of Housing and Dining Services offers Tutoring in MATH 100 College Algebra, MATH 150 Plane Trigonometry, MATH 220 Calculus I, MATH 221 Calculus II, MATH 222 Calculus III, MATH 240 Elementary Diferential Equations, and MATH 551 Applied Matrix Theory in the Academic Resource Centers in the Derby and Kramer Complexes.
Scholars Assisting Scholars (SAS) is a tutoring program that employs students to serve as a tutoring resource to students enrolled in MATH 220 Calculus I and MATH 221 Calculus II. Students do not need to sign up for tutoring prior to a session. They can just show up when the tutors are available. Here are links to SAS Tutor schedules. SAS math tutoring sessions are held in the lounge area on the second floor of the Rathbone - Durland - Fiedler Complex.
Mathematics - Physics Computing Lab
Using the latest technology to enhance the mathematics curriculum, the Department of Mathematics, in cooperation with the Department of Physics, created the Mathematics - Physics Computational Classroom Laboratory (MPCCL) which is currently used for MATH 240 Elementary Differential Equations, MATH 540 Advanced Ordinary Differential Equations, MATH 551 Applied Matrix Theory, MATH 655 Numerical Analysis and several physics courses. Here is the Computing Lab Schedule for the current semester. Here are Calculator and Computer Recommendations for beginning students at K-State.
