M is for Math Jam!
What is Math Jam?
Math Jam is an additional resource (complementing professor office hours, class CA sessions, and the Math Workshop) for students studying mathematics at Wes. Math Jam works on a "study hall” model. Students are encouraged to come, on their own or in a group. There is plenty of space to study and tutors are standing by when questions arise.
In the Fall 2023 semester, Math Jam will be the designated tutoring space for MATH 119, MATH 121, MATH 122, and MATH 132.
Where can I find Math Jam?
Math Jam is located in Woodhead Lounge (Exley 184).
The sessions are on Tuesdays from 6 - 9pm.
Note: Math Jam starts on September 5 and will close for the semester on December 5. Math Jam will be closed on October 24.
Why Math Jam?
Community + Practice = Success!
At Math Jam, space is available for students to come on their own, or in a group, to work on homework sets, study for exams, and find new study partners. Experienced tutors are on-site, ready to answer questions and review concepts as they arise.
An additional feature of Math Jam is that it is not limited to pure math questions alone. The tutors are able to assist with the “mathy” aspects of classes from other departments. All tutors are knowledgeable in the standard math calculus sequence. The tutors are also well-equipped to field intro-level questions in Economics, Physics, QAC, and Computer Science.
For more information, visit the Math Jam website or contact Professor Ilesanmi Adeboye (iadeboye@wesleyan.edu).
