Problem Sessions

 

Spring 2023

 

 

Hours & Topics

The Dolciani Mathematics Learning Center offers Problem Sessions in five different subjects. Each of these series is offered several times each week, day and evening hours, as well as Saturdays. Facilitators are experienced instructors and tutors.

Problem Sessions have been re-instituted for Calculus I (MATH 150), Calculus II (MATH 155) and Statistics, day, evening, and weekends, both onsite and virtual.  Shown below are the topics for the specific time period.  Go to Navigate to see the actual times of the sessions.  Please note that Problem Session appointments are NOT the same as tutoring appointments.  Please see Tutoring for more information about these.
