Q: Where is the Math Center?
A: Kaprielian Hall, room 263 (KAP 263) which is on the second floor, above the northeast lobby and doors. Kaprielian Hall itself is located on the west side of campus, just north of the Downey Way entrance, at 3620 South Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, California.
Q: I’m in the Math Center and I need help with my math homework. How can I find a graduate student to help me?
A: Look at the schedule to see which graduate students are on duty. The schedule is posted on the corkboard in the Math Center. To help identify the graduate students, look for their pictures on the wall. You can also ask the Math Center assistant to help you find a graduate student.
Q: I’m having trouble with the mathematics or statistics that I’m coming across in another class given by another department. Can I get help in the Math Center?
A: We like to be good citizens, so we’ll help you if we can and if we’re not busy with another student. However, our first priority is to help students with their math classes. The department that is offering your class should provide resources for you to get help with classes that they offer.
Q: Is there a photocopy machine or printer near by?
A: Sorry, no. You’ll need to go to a library for a photocopy machine or printer.
Q: I need to work on a computer assignment. Is Mathematica/Matlab/SPSS available somewhere on campus?
A: Mathematica and Matlab are available on computers in the ITS labs. There are ITS labs at the following locations:
- King Olympic Hall (KOH)
- Leavey Information Commons (LVL)
- Henry Salvatori Computer Science Center (SAL)
- Waite Philips Hall of Education (WPH)
Go to the ITS website for information about opening hours etc.
USC also has a site license allowing students to install Mathematica and Matlab on their personal devices, see the ITS software page for details.
