Raising awareness of mathematics on campus is the Math Club’s main purpose. “We want to show students that math is not as bad as it seems”, said Alan Gogue, President of the Math Club. According to Gogue, when students face the reality that math is a subject they must grasp, understand, and not avoid, they are more apt to learn. That is when students can then take advantage of the Math Club community service tutoring.
The Math Club meets in room 349, between 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Mondays to help students with their homework. “It’s an hour of my day dedicated solely to math”, said Carly Cagne, a student who has been attending every tutoring session. “It’s a time and place that gives me the motivation and discipline to just do the work. Usually students from your own class will be helping you out, which, when you mess up a lot, is a lot less intimidating than a professor.”
On Wednesday, November 2, Dr. Amy Wehe from Fitchburg State University will be coming to speak to students about the many benefits of pursuing and studying mathematics. The event will be held in Room 071 in the Library, between 12:30-1:30pm.
