History
The construction of the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Student Center (commonly called the Math Center) took place in conjunction with a renovation of the LeRoy E. Cowles Building. Construction, made possible through a generous donation from the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, was started in April 2000 and completed in December 2001.
The Math Center is a math haven for undergraduate students and their studies. Students receive free tutoring for select math department courses, have access to a computer lab, and study in one of our group study rooms or independently at one of the individual study desks.
The center is named in honor of Professor T. Benny Rushing, whose leadership of the Department of Mathematics and College of Science, combined with a persistent pursuit of excellence, helped shape their future for faculty and students alike. A professor of mathematics at the U for nearly 30 years, Dr. Rushing's insightful intellect and wry humor contributed to his success as an inspiring teacher and mentor as well as a gifted mathematician and researcher. He served twice as chair of the Department of Mathematics and led the College of Science as dean from 1993-1997.
The FASB satellite location is located in FASB 205. Tutoring is offered for Math 980, all 1000 and 2000 level math courses, and Math 3070-3080, 3140, 3150, 3160, and 3210-3220.
