Interested in Working at the QRC?
The QRC is always looking for students who have strong foundations in quantitative problem-solving and math up through Pre-Calculus, can think on their feet, and are clear communicators.
Interested students should contact the QRC director, Lin Winton, with their CV/résumé and availability. The QRC is a great opportunity to stretch your quantitative muscles and help students in all kinds of courses that use numbers. You never know what you’ll see in the QRC!

Quantitative Skill-Specific Resources
Confidence Intervals – this interactive simulation is a nice illustration of how to interpret (and how not to interpret) confidence intervals.
The Data Visualisation Catalogue – a collection of different graph types, also searchable by function. Each graph type is described, and tools/languages capable of making it are listed.
Linearization – This page will help you brush up on how to linearize graphs (also called linear approximation). Linearization is a fundamental skill in Intro Physics that students may be expected to know from Calculus, but many courses skip it. Thus, it is helpful to know in case students come to the QRC asking for help. This resource was prepared by Marty Baylor for her Physics 131 Newtonian Mechanics course.
