Guidelines for Using the Math Lab

  • Bring the worksheet or textbook that contains the problems you need help with.


  • For the best help, be prepared to show a Learning Assistant or student learning assistant the attempts you have made to solve these problems, and identify where you are having difficulties.


  • The Learning Assistants and student learning assistants may not give you any help on graded assignments. If you are working on an assignment that will be graded (i.e. a take-home quiz, lab or project), look for a similar question in the text. Work on that text question, and then present your work to a Learning Assistant.


  • There are learning aids available in the Math Lab that may be useful if you need more help on a topic. If you miss a class, please contact your instructor, who will give you the best strategy for making up the work.

    Learning Aids

    You must have a valid Brookdale ID to access the following materials. These learning aids are available for you to use in the Math Lab.

  • Topic specific CD ROMs for many of our courses are available for viewing in the lab. The Bankier Library also has these materials, plus topic specific videotapes, if you would like to borrow them to view at home.


  • The Math Lab has solution manuals (both student and instructor versions) for most of the texts used by the department. These can be used in the Math Lab as study aids so you can check the answer to any text problem. The Bankier Library also has these on reserve.


  • The computer room in the Math Lab is equipped with all our mathematics software. These computers are reserved for currently enrolled math students doing assignments for their math course. The computer room has the same hours as the Math Lab.


  • From the Math Department webpage, you can access materials specific to several courses: Math 011, Math 012, Math 015, Math 021, Math 131, Math 136, Math 137, Math 145, Math 151, and Math 171.

    If you are unable to get to the Lab here is a list of great web pages that you should find useful. If we can be of any other assistance or you require special accomodations please contact Teresa Healy at 224-2864.

    Study Groups and Workshops

  • The Math Department encourages students to form study groups. If you are interested in forming a study group, ask your instructor to help you get one started. Your study groups are welcome to meet in the Math Lab.


  • Workshops are problem-solving sessions that may focus on a specific topic or review material for a test. For example, around the time courses have their tests, review sessions covering the material on these tests are offered through the Math Lab. Workshop announcements will be posted on the Math Lab bulletin board located in the hallway outside of the Math Lab and in the Announcements portion of this webpage.
