Philosophy of the Math/Physics Center
At the Math-Physics Center, we believe that anyone can succeed in math and/or physics, and we reject the myth that only certain kinds of people can think mathematically. Therefore, we respect the innate intelligence of individuals and we focus on your development of sound problem-solving strategies rather than on the problems themselves. We seek to help you:

* recognize the way(s) in which you learn best,
* recognize there are multiple ways to approach a problem,
* test your varying approaches to a problem,
* clarify your thinking,
* communicate your thinking to others, and
* work with others; focusing on collaboration and respect

About the Math/Physics Center
The Math-Physics Center is located in 205 Olds/Upton. Peer consultants are available on a walk-in basis to help you with your math or physics. Come in to study for exams or just to do your daily homework--if you get stuck, someone will be there to help. Consultants can work with you one-on-one or lead group problem-solving sessions.

What can I expect from a consultant?
The consultant will guide you to finding the answer for yourself by asking leading questions and comparing the problem to material you've already mastered. The goal of a consultation is to show you strategies for figuring out problems on your own.

Can I get help on math mastery exams?
Yes. First work through the mastery exam yourself. If there are problems that you can't figure out or if you don’t master the exam, visit a math consultant. The consultant will help you with concepts you don't understand. After you've met with a consultant, print out another version of the mastery exam and work it on your own. You may not turn in a version of the exam on which a consultant has helped you.

Do I have to be 'stuck' to come to the Math-Physics Center?
No! We welcome you - even if you just want to come hang out and do homework with your friends.

Did you know that the Math-Physics Center is on Moodle?
Yes! It's found in the Campus Communities section. Enrollment is open. Sign up so you can be part of the community whether the Center in Olds/Upton is open or not.
