Study Groups
The Science Learning Center is coordinating study groups for Math 156 students. The groups meet weekly to review course material, solve problems, and gain a better understanding of course concepts. A group has 8-12 members and is facilitated by a Group Leader trained by the SLC. Group membership is voluntary, but requires active participation and regular attendance. You can learn more details at the SLC website. Registration for Math 156 students begins on Wednesday, Sept 10 at 9am. Students should register online at the SLC website. Study groups begin meeting on Sunday, Sept 14.

"You need the willingness to fail all the time. You have to generate many ideas and then you have to work very hard only to discover that they don't work. And you keep doing that over and over until you find one that does work." - John Backus, lead developer of Fortran
