Math and Stats Help: Home
Math and Stats Help Centre
Math and Stats Help tutors can help you with a variety of mathematical or statistical topics, but our focus is on first-year or introductory courses. We can help with courses that have mathematical or statistical content or concepts, including those that do not have "math" or "stats" in their title, such as COMM 104, GE 111, PLSC 214, etc. Students can get help from a tutor by appointment or by email. Our appointments are held using the University of Saskatchewan's webconferencing software, Webex.
Prior to May 2020, our service was primarily a drop-in service: students were welcome to drop in to work on homework and ask questions when needed. The drop-in service was available at the physical location of the Math and Stats Help Centre, room 144 in the Murray Library on the Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan. As the campus is currently operating remotely, in-person help is not available.
Our services are available to University of Saskatchewan students for help with University of Saskatchewan courses.
For more information, please email Holly Fraser, the Math &Stats Help Coordinator, at mathhelpcentre@usask.ca or holly.fraser@usask.ca .
