Math Help Centre
The Department of Geography & Planning runs a Math Help Centre for students taking undergraduate courses offered by the department.
For Fall 2024, we will be offering a combination of in-person and online access to the GGR Math Help Centre.
What is the Geography Math Help Centre?
It is a drop-in work space where you can connect with a TA who can help explain math concepts and techniques that may come up in lectures, readings or assignments. This includes working with formulas, graphing data, completing calculations, and so forth. It does not matter how basic your questions are!
No appointment is required. You will be able to connect with the TA using Zoom during scheduled 'open' Q&A times.
TA's for the Math Help Centre are in Geography & Planning. They are familiar with the range of math'y questions that might come up as you work on assignments, read academic articles, review class notes and prepare for tests. Questions can be about how values are calculated, meaning of equations, interpretation of graphs, etc.
How to access the Geography Math Help Centre?
The Math Help Centre will be accessible through a Quercus shell for students taking courses in the department that have been identified as involving class materials (lectures, readings, assignments) that may involve some basic math. You will have been automatically added to the Math Help Centre course shell.
If you are taking a Geography & Planning course where there is some math you need help with but you have not been added the Quercus shell, email Professor Boland (boland@geog.utoronto.ca) with subject line "GGR MHC – please add". In your email, simply indicate which course(s) you are currently taking.
The schedule, room location, and zoom link are provided in the Math Help Centre Quercus shell. That is where any changes to the regular schedule will also be posted.
