Computer Resources
There are many computer resources that will assist students in their math courses. Make an appointment with the Math Lab Coordinator to learn to use:

  • Plato Tutorials (in all levels of Math and in Chemistry, Biology and Physics)
  • CD lecture series (for most math courses)
  • MyMathLab (Web resource with practice tests and assignments graded by the computer Internet Resources). MyMathLab must be purchased with a new book, or purchased as an extra with a Used Text. (Contact the Bookstore.) If your instructor does not use MyMathLab ask the Math Lab Coordinator how to use it.
  • CD and Video Lecture Series: Video (on CD) of math textbook authors lecturing on the textbook topics and doing sample problems are available in the Library (ask at the Circulation desk). Extra copies are available from the Math Lab Coordinator. Most math textbooks have this resource.

    There is also a video Calculus Lecture Series available for loan.

Web Math
This site is a commercial site (will contain advertisements). It is both a tutorial (showing how to do a type of problem) and a place to enter a problem you can't solve. It will solve the problem, explaining all the steps. Covers Algebra and below. Also allows you to download a demo copy of their PC software. If you like it, you can order the software to have on your PC and use without going on the Web ($29.99).

Ask Dr. Math
This in non-commercial site created and maintained by Swarthmore College. You can submit a question and wait for a response. You can also search the list of questions others have asked (yours might already have been answered) and see that answer immediately.

Take a Tutorial in Math:

  • Cool Math This site has tutoring in all types of math, from elementary to college calculus, plus some nice explanations of algebra concepts.
  • Algebra & Geometry
    This site has lessons in some basic algebra (absolute value, exponents, GCF, percents, scientific notation) and some basic geometry (triangles, parallelograms, circles, etc).
