Online Math Support Center

The Online Math Support Center is designed to help IU Online and IU East students succeed academically and gain confidence in their online math course. Students may visit the Online Math Center as often as they like.

Math support will cover course levels up to Calculus II. Mentors at the IU East Online Math Resource Center will provide feedback and expertise to students in math courses, and they will work closely with faculty to address student concerns.

Math mentors are available to:

Help prepare students for quizzes and exams
Share tips and study strategies
Help students gain self-confidence
Show students another way of looking at the problems and offer alternate explanations

All services are free to students and are designed to help them succeed academically and gain confidence in mathematics. Using our online service, students can submit questions 24/7 (excluding campus holidays).

"Live" Online Math Support

During 'live' help times the math mentor is working in real time. During these times, you will typically get a response within 20-30 minutes, depending on how involved your question might be or how many other students are online with you. Providing a picture of the question you are working on along with any work you have tried to do will help the math mentor answer your question in a timely manner.
