Math and Stats Help Centre
The Math & Stats Help Centre offers help to University of Saskatchewan students with a variety of mathematical or statistical topics. Math & Stats Help Centre tutors can help with courses that have mathematical or statistical content or concepts, including courses such as MATH 102, MATH 104, Math 110, STAT 244, STAT 245, etc. We can also help with courses that do not have "math" or "stats" in their title but have significant mathematical or statistical content, such as COMM 104, COMM 121, PSY 233, PLSC 214, etc.
We offer drop-in help in person and online appointments. Our services are available at no charge.
For drop-in help, students are welcome to come with questions to the Math & Stats Help Centre in Room 144 of the Murray Library. The Murray Library is located on the Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan.
For online appointments, our tutors use Zoom. Students can schedule an online appointment by visiting our appointment booking page.
Our services are available to University of Saskatchewan students for help with University of Saskatchewan courses. If you aren't sure that we will be able to help with your question, please check with us by emailing mathhelpcentre@usask.ca. We do not generally have the capacity to help with research-level statistics, but we may be able to help depending on the nature of the question. Please email us at mathhelpcentre@usask.ca for more information.
For more information, please email Holly Fraser, the Math &Stats Help Coordinator, at mathhelpcentre@usask.ca or holly.fraser@usask.ca .
