SPECIAL STUDY MATH LEARNING CENTER The Mathematics Learning Center, MLC, is designed to assist students at Clinton in all areas of mathematics from basic arithmetic to college calculus. A primary aim of the MLC is to assist students in developing the skills and attitudes which enable them to achieve success in their math courses and math problems. Tutoring is avail- able not only for all students taking math courses at Clinton but also for students in courses such as econom- ics, nursing, chemistry, and data processing who need help with the mathematical content of those courses. The services provided are geared to the individual stu- dent. One-to-one tutoring with a qualified tutor is offered to students who wish to facilitate their understanding of key concepts. Students who desire to study for, or go over tests, or to discuss homework-related questions are invit- ed to visit the MLC. The MLC is run on an informal basis, and students are encouraged to drop in without an appointment. The over- all purpose of the MLC is to develop a positive relation- ship between students and the subject of mathematics, and to represent math as a natural, logical approach to the practical world.
