The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Center, Math & Computer Science Help Rooms will offer tutoring throughout exam week! We will be open with limited hours and the last day for tutoring is Thursday, December 18th. The last day for drop in tutoring in the Data and Scientific Reasoning Lab will be Thursday, December 11th. The QR Center and all the Help Rooms will reopen during the second week of classes in the spring semester.

Before the spring semester begins, the Center for Teaching, Learning & Scholarship (CTLS) and the Norman M. Eberly Multilingual Writing Center (MWC) would like to give faculty the opportunity to reflect on the impact of AI in our classrooms and on students. Rather than offering a programmed event, we will be holding a conversational lunch (catered by the Grazery) at noon on January 14, 2026 in the Writing Center.

This program is pending APSC approval.

Spend an unforgettable three weeks this summer at Universal Orlando Resort, home to some of the world���s most thrilling and imaginatively engineered theme parks. Immerse yourself in the worlds of Jurassic Park, The Simpsons, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, and more. You won���t just visit some of the most popular themed lands on the planet���you���ll study the mathematics and related disciplines behind the magic.

Using the theme parks at Universal Orlando Resort as a backdrop, this course explores real-world applications of mathematics and data science. Students will investigate topics across applied mathematics���including probability, statistics, optimization, graph theory, combinatorics, and mathematical modeling���through direct observation and hands-on analysis of guest flow, attraction efficiency, and operational decision-making.

Over the three-week program, students will make daily excursions to the parks to gather data, develop and test hypotheses, and complete both small and large projects. Each day will include mini-lectures and discussions to reinforce key concepts, held in a variety of settings such as outdoor spaces, the suite���s common area, and even inside the parks themselves.

In the final week, students will design and carry out an independent project, collecting and analyzing data, making predictions, and testing solutions. They will present their findings to the group at the end of the course.
