Central State University is going to establish a Math Learning Center (MLC) housed in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS). MLC will be supported through a US Department of Education Grant. MLC mainly offers computer-assisted remediation for freshman-level math students based on their needs identified through a standardized placement test developed by the CSU math faculty. This Center will also support tutoring services as well as facilitate homework and study groups for students enrolled in mathematics courses. While primarily focused on freshman-level math, the center is open to all students taking math courses such as Trigonometry, Calculus series, Numerical Methods and Linear Algebra.
