Mathematics Computer Labs

The Mathematics Lab, 190C Brighton Lecture Hall, offers tutoring to students having difficulty in math classes. Lab assistants are upper-level math majors who are available to help upon request.

In addition, students may receive information and practice material for preparing for the PPST and CAAP competency exams.

The Math Lab is open Monday through Thursday, 3 to 9 p.m. There is no charge for these services, and no appointment is necessary.

The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Economics has two computer laboratories. The labs contain a total of 24 personal computers connected via a high-speed network to divisional servers as well as the Internet. Computers in both labs are equipped with software to do symbolic mathematics manipulations, graphing, and geometric constructions. They are also equipped with computer language development software and application programs, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation development tools. In addition, the labs contain a number of Unix-based workstations which are equipped with software development tools.

The Department maintains a wide variety of server computers that provide students access to applications software as well as serving as a resource for networking related courses. Servers include Solaris Unix, Linux, and Windows installations, as well as a highly reliable server cluster.

Both computer laboratories are open Monday through Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m., except when reserved for a class. Tutors are on duty in the computer labs. Students having additional questions about the labs may call 341-5342.
