Worried about math? Whether you are studying for a prelim or brushing up on forgotten algebra, we can relieve your math anxiety. Don't wait until the end of the semester to seek help!
256 Malott Hall, (607) 255-4658 Contact: Kay Wagner
The MSC operates on the premise that you will learn mathematical concepts best by doing problems and practicing regularly. Study capsules and tutoring assist in refreshing your memory, filling gaps in your math background, reinforcing class work, helping on difficult topics, or reviewing for exams. MSC services are available weekdays and Sundays throughout the semester.

Free tutoring
Experienced tutors are available at no charge for individual and small-group tutoring. We often work on a Walk-In basis. You can also make an appointment, sign up on the schedule posted outside 256 Malott Hall or call the Math Support Center. The Schedule resembles the image below:Tutoring Schedule:
- If you make an appointment, you have priority over anyone who did not.
- It is your responsibility to let the tutor know when you arrive for your appointment.
- You may have only one appointment pending. This assures that other students have a chance to sign up. Once your appointment is over, you may sign up for another.
