The Math Learning Centre (MLC) is a space for undergraduate students to study math together, with support from math tutors, who are graduate students in the math department.
While students are encouraged to seek help with homework, the MLC is not a place to check answers or receive solutions; rather, the aim is to aid students in becoming expert learners and to develop critical thinking and skills in a mathematical setting.
At MLC, TA specialists can help with not only all first and second-year math courses, but also with a broad spectrum of expertise areas for the higher-level courses.
