It sees students from departments whose units contain or require first year university mathematics (usually Calculus and Linear Algebra), although there are also students with questions that are both more or less advanced than these topics, including physics related questions.
- The Networking Help Desk - The Help Desk provides support for students undertaking introductory networking Units in units covering Cisco and Microsoft curriculum. Support is offered on a one-to-one basis and independent of the corresponding Unit Staff.
