If you need help understanding the material of Math 285, or with the homework exercises, here are two places to get it.
Professor Megginson's office hours are there for your benefit, so feel free to take advantage of them. No appointment is necessary. These hours are:
 | 10-11 Monday |
| 1:30-2:30 Tuesday |
| 11 Thursday |
| and by appointment |
Professor Megginson's office is 4076 East Hall, and his telephone number is (734) 936-0155. His e-mail address is meggin@math.lsa.umich.edu.
The Math Lab is a free mathematics tutoring service in B860 East Hall open to all University of Michigan students. No appointment is necessary; just walk in and sign up. See the Math Lab home page for the hours that the Math Lab is open.
Here are several things you should know to use the Math Lab to your best advantage.
| The Math Lab is often very busy during the evening, with a backlog of students waiting for tutoring, so your best bet for getting fast help is to go during the daytime. |
| Similarly, the Math Lab is often very, very busy during the week leading up to a Math 105, 115, or 116 exam, which may occur about the same time as the exams in this course, so don't put off getting help there until just before an exam. |
| The Math Lab does offer some help with homework to be handed in, but their policy is to give only broad suggestions on ways to think about those homework exercises. |
