MATHEMATICS LEARNING SUCCESS CENTER BY THE NUMBERS The new Mathematics Learning Success Center opened this summer on the fifth floor of the Edmon Low Library on the OSU-Stillwater campus. The center is available to all students in lower-level mathematics courses looking for resources in addition to the classroom. Math department head and Regents Professor William Jaco says the center is a cornerstone to building OSU’s program of student learning and success in mathematics. “Mathematics is the key to opening doors to opportunity and careers for students. It is the foundation to the STEM subjects (science, technology, engi- neering and mathematics),” he says.
