The mathematics lab is one of the newest developments in the Thornton Center. We work with students from any math course, providing individual assistance, group review sessions, or simply a place to work on that lengthy homework assignment or project with support and help just a step away. Students can come to the math lab to ask questions regarding particular homework problems, to work through an entire homework set, to have troublesome concepts re-explained, or to review for an exam or quiz. Our mission is to develop mathematical abilities, as well as critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will aid students not only in their courses at UT, but in situations that will arise throughout their lives.

The math lab is staffed by experienced and knowledgeable tutors. The staff is comprised of graduate and undergraduate students, and is coordinated by a faculty member of the mathematics department. Whether we are explaining the definition of a function or the concept of integration, the staff is dedicated to providing personal attention and assistance, so that all students who come in can reach their highest potential.
