The UBC Mathematics Department is always open to
suggestions about resources to provide to
Undergraduates. If you have any ideas that would make
your Math course easier, please email us at
reception(at)math.ubc.ca.
The Math Learning Centre (MLC) is a resource for
undergraduate students to study mathematics together,
with support from UBC Mathematics Department graduate
students acting as tutors. There is no charge for the
services MLC provides. Please click on the above link
for up-to-date information.
Mathematics Library
All Mathematics undergraduates are strongly encouraged to
make full use of the Mathematics Library, located in the
Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (Level 4, North Wing).
The online resources of books and journals are
substantial.
Computer Lab Facilities
The Mathematics Undergraduate Computer Lab is located in
Room 310 in the Leonard S. Klinck (LSK) Building. Students
can use any of the 42 Windows workstations and a printer
networked to the Mathematics Unix servers. Users have
access to various installed software to do course work,
such as mathematical packages (Maple, Matlab, R), browsers
and information readers (Firefox, email readers), editors
and word processing (Open Office, TeX), and programming
tools (GCC compilers, Java toolkit).
In addition, Rooms 121 in LSK and 1042/1046 in the Earth
Sciences Building (ESB) are available to Mathematics and
Statistics undergraduates with lab accounts. Room 121 in
LSK consists of 70 CAIL terminals which have Windows and
Unix login with access to the same servers as in the
Mathematics Undergraduate Computer Lab, as well as to
additional software from several Windows 2008 servers
(Jumpin, Microsoft Office, Lindo and Lingo, Scientific
Notepad). Rooms 1042 and 1046 in ESB each have 20 Mac
workstations. Two printers are available, with a strictly
enforced quota of 35 pages per course.
*The labs are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00
pm,* provided they have not been reserved by an
instructor. All labs are closed on weekends and holidays.
The Undergraduate Mathematics Society (formerly known as the Math Club)
is the official social
club of the Department of Mathematics at UBC Vancouver. We host
social events for students in the Mathematics Department and operate out of
our spacious lounge in Math Annex 1119, which boasts a substantial
reference library, chalkboards, board games (so many board games),
sporadic offerings of free food, and more! We also sell exam
packages for many 100-300 level math courses.
