<p>Hey everyone, i've always had a tough time in math classes. In the past i've gone to my local community college were I was luckily enough to find one on one tutoring. Will i be able to find the same resources at UM or will i be forced to hire a tutor ? Also i haven't take a math class since junior year (precalculus) and i don't remember much, should this be cause of concern ?</p>
<p>p.s
how many years of math is needed or must one complete a certain course ?</p>
<p>I'll be majoring in French or Spanish/Political Science</p>
<p>Yep there’s a Math Lab located in East Hall which is open most days pretty late. Basically it’s a bunch of grad students sitting at tables, willing to help you. It’s not exactly one-on-one, but close enough.</p>
<p>I think LSA requires a semester of Math, so you’d probably just take Math 105. I’m not sure though.</p>
<p>You don’t have to take a math class if you don’t want to, and your major doesn’t require it. I don’t know if polysci formally requires any math, but I believe it’s highly suggested for more advanced coursework. </p>
<p>Part of the general distribution requirement involves you choosing three out of five (maybe six) possible areas, and taking at least 3 credits in each. The possible areas are humanities, social sciences, natural science, math and symbolic analysis, creative expression, and maybe interdisciplinary. So if you don’t like math, you just choose 3 other areas to meet that requirement.</p>
<p>Actually it’s more undergraduates than graduate students in the mathlab. It’s open Monday-Friday 11am-4pm, and Sunday-Thursday 7-10pm. It’s usually one on one, but if it’s crowded/there are multiple kids working on the same thing, we might help multiple students at the same time.</p>
