To help students with their understanding of mathematics on all levels.
Our objective is to help students with their understanding of mathematics on all levels. Any math question ranging from the exercises in introductory math courses to advanced questions is welcome.
We welcome all chemistry and materials science students from the University of Oslo to the Hylleraas Math Help program.

During the autumn semester 2023, the math help sessions will be held at:
Thursdays at 14:15-16:00 in the room Avogadro, unless otherwise noted in the table below.
The first session is on September 14 and the last session on December 14. Any schedule changes or cancelled sessions will be announced here on this page.

Background
Much research in computational chemistry at the Hylleraas Centre requires an understanding of higher mathematics, in particular, linear algebra, functional analysis, Fourier analysis and numerical analysis.
Over the past years computational and quantum chemistry has emerged as one of the central branches of modern chemistry and materials science by offering a vast variety of tools for applications in academia and industry. It has become an indispensable part in the education of the next generation of chemists and materials scientists.
With Hylleraas Math Help, researchers at the Hylleraas Centre hope to help students' learning of mathematics, at any level from the most basic courses to the advanced levels. The ambition is that the students will use their mathematical knowledge in chemistry.
Contact
The math help is run by Erik Tellgren, Hylleraas Centre, Department of Chemistry. Any questions can be sent to: erik.tellgren@kjemi.uio.no
The Hylleraas Math Help was started by Andre Laestadius and Fabian Faulstich. From autumn 2022, Erik Tellgren took over. From 2023, Håkon Fredheim is also part of the initiative.
