Resources for Students

The Morken Math Center

The Morken Math Center is located in Room 233 in the Morken Center for Learning and Technology. Many folks congregate there during the day to work on homework, browse through books or journals, use the computers, or just chat. The room is staffed by trained consultants in the evenings, who provide free tutoring from 7-10 pm, Sun-Thurs.

Guidelines for Written Work

Faculty members in the department of Mathematics have developed these guidelines to help students currently enrolled at PLU to write mathematics more clearly and precisely. The guidelines are based on material in a number of sources; including, "Learning Mathematics Through Writing, Some Guidelines" by J. J. Price, The College Mathematics Journal 20 (1989) 5, "Writing Mathematics Well" by L. Gillman, Mathematical Association of America, Washington, D.C., 1988, and "The Elements of Style", third edition, by W. Strunk and E. B. White, MacMillan, New York, 1979.

The guidelines are accessible only to current PLU students/staff/faculty. When you try to log on you will be asked for a User Name (your PLU e-mail address) and Password (the password for your PLU account). You may have to go into Sage and change your account password the first time you try and log into the Writing Guidelines page.
