The Math Success Center is happy to announce our new PCC Math Summer Bootcamps!
This is a three week program designed for students who would like to prepare for College Algebra, Precalculus/Trigonometry, and/or first semester Calculus and is open to all PCC students.
How it works.
Over the course of three weeks, a MSC faculty member will provide free lectures and practice covering various key-concepts found in Algebra and Trigonometry. You will be working with other students with similar interest and goals while reviewing mathematics and building self-confidence before taking your next math class at PCC.
Below, you will be able to sign-up for MSB and choose which sessions you would like to attend. You are under no obligation to attend all sessions, but we ask that you do your best to attend the sessions you signed up for.
Sign Up Now
Note: A confirmation email will be sent to you after you submit the form. You will
also be contacted by MSC faculty about getting started.
