"Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency."

Descartes

For many, mathematics is also among the most difficult subjects in which to succeed. If you need help with your math classes, or with any of your classes that use math, such as chemistry, physics, business or economics, stop by or call the Center for Teaching & Learning at (630) 844-5520 to set up an appointment with our tutors.

If you're getting ready to take the Illinois Basics Skills Test, you are welcome to attend the College of Education's Basic Skills Test review workshops.

If you haven't had a math class in a long time and you'd like to brush up a bit before you start your class, you may want to work with a tutor to determine your current skill level, or the Center for Teaching & Learning has some self-study materials you could use to work on your own. Also, check out our links below.
