Drop-In Help
The Math Learning Centre (MLC)
The MLC is a space for undergraduate students to work together, with friendly support from graduate student teaching assistants (TAs). All students taking Math courses are welcome at the MLC. Appointments are not needed.
The MLC generally opens in the third week of each term. It is not open on holidays and during reading breaks. It is not open over the summer.
The in-person MLC is located in MATH 102 and is open noon to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Additional space is available next door in MATH 105 and upstairs in MATH 225. The online MLC can be accessed via the MLC Canvas page and is open 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
TAs are available to help with all first- and second-year math courses, though first-year calculus students should generally use the Calculus Common Room (details on the Canvas course page). Additionally, TAs have a broad spectrum of expertise areas for the higher level courses.
Important Information
Whilst students are encouraged to seek help with homework, the MLC is not a place to check answers or receive solutions. Rather, our aim is to aid students in becoming better learners and to develop critical thinking in a mathematical setting.
