Mathematics courses at Langara

Besides providing quality instruction, the department runs a Mathematics and Statistics Activity Centre, a space for students to do math and stats, either individually or collaboratively, in a setting that is inviting and supportive. Drop-in tutorial help is provided by peer tutors and faculty. The Centre has many resources including computers, books (such as course texts and other reference texts), and posters.

The Langara College Mathematics Department is the choice for an excellent and
comprehensive education in a supportive learning environment.

Events and Outreach

The department contributes to the life of the College by participating in events such as S.M.A.R.T. seminar, Open House, Pi Day, and the VDSF Vancouver District Science Fair (High School Science Fair). Another engaging community event is the Math Fair, presented every semester by students in our Mathematics for Elementary Teachers (MATH 1190) course. The Fair is open to the public - anyone aged 6 or older will find something fun to do!

The department also hosts the B.C. Secondary School Math Contest (with exciting prizes) and American Math Association (AMA) contests for high school students.
