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 closed on on holidays, during reading breaks, and over the summer.

TAs are available to help with all first- and second-year math courses. First-year calculus students are encouraged to use the Calculus Common Room (details on the Canvas course page), but are more than welcome to visit the Math Learning Centre. Our TAs have a broad spectrum of expertise areas for the higher level courses.

Students seeking help for higher level courses can check the MLC Canvas page to see when TAs with specialties in their course subject are available.

The MLC will be closed on the following dates:
  • Tuesday, September 30, 2025
  • Monday, October 13, 2025
  • Monday, November 10 to Friday, November 14, 2024

CALCULUS COMMON ROOM

The Calculus Common Room is reserved for first-year calculus students. It is located in LSK 302 and is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm


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.
