-
Older
exams with solutions.
- Quizzes from other sections, follow the links to individual sections,
here
.
- Some handouts:
Detailed list of topics to review ;
Techniques of integration handout ;
List of relative growth rates of functions (this
handout
replaces L'Hospital's rule -- you are responsible for knowing the facts in
it. You can refer to these facts in the exam.)
