CLAS wants you to succeed in your courses here at UCSB. Many of your classes require some amount of math, and we are here to help. Our Algebra Tune-Up (also known as "Algebra Boot Camp") is a review program designed to build your skills and confidence so you can tackle those challenging courses. We have several options available for you:

Asynchronous Online Course

Highlight: Problem of the Day

  • A new problem will be posted to the Canvas site every day.

  • Create a healthy habit of doing a little bit of math every day.

  • Long-term success comes with a series of small victories!

In-Person Workshop

  • Work together with your peers - you are not alone!

  • Each session covers several topics.

  • Follow-up quizzes help deepen your understanding.

  • Includes access to the online course

  • Three consecutive Fridays at 1 P.M.

  • Listed under My Workshops > Algebra Boot Camp.

This course is intended as a kickstart to get you back on track with math, but there is no quick fix. You will need to put in some work, and commit to a long, steady process to get to where you want to be. Each brief module in the asynchronous course comes with suggestions for where to find more practice material. If you build the habit of doing a little bit every day it will definitely pay off. If your skills are rusty, or math never clicked for you, please let us help you succeed.

You can do this!
