Since "There are 28 students in a mathematics class" and "one-fourth of the students are called to the guidence office", this means that students are called to the guidence office. So there are students left.

Since "one-third of the remaining students are called to the nurses office", we know that students are called to the nurses office. So there are students left.

Finally, because "one-half of those left to go to the library", there are students who went to the library. So there are students left in the class.
