The Quantitative Skills Center (QSC) is located in Mudd 307, which is
upstairs in the Library.
The Quantitative Skills Center offers lots of support (free of charge) to all Albion College students. Come for help with any kind of math (at any level), statistics, logic, using spreadsheets, graphing calculators, computer algebra systems (like Mathematica or MathCad), test or math anxiety, graduate exam preparation, studying math and science, test-taking strategies, and anything else involving quantitative skills. If you could use some support in any of these areas, whether or not you are enrolled in a math course, please stop in.
What you will find in the
Quantitative Skills Center:
In the Quantitative Skills Center, you will find three computers which will hold several programs, including Mathematica, Scientific Notebook, and self-tutorials on algebra and trig. Students are encouraged to drop-in and make use of these facilities any time. There are many mathematics textbooks in the room which can be used as reference and may be borrowed from the Center.. In addition, the Center is staffed by students and a part-time director. These people can answer your questions! To see when there will be someone who can help you, look at the help schedule.
In addition to help on a drop-in basis, there will be several workshops offered throughout the semester, and student math tutors are coordinated through the Quantitative Skills Center..
