MATH 101, Winter 2013 — Integral Calculus with Applications to Physical Sciences and Engineering

SAMPLE EXAMS

Sample Midterms

Midterms given in previous years will be posted below; they will provide guidelines on the type, length, and difficulty of questions to expect on this year’s midterms. Sample midterms will be posted roughly one week before the respective miderm date, and sample final exams about one week before the end of term.

GENERAL NOTES:

  1. You will obtain the greatest benefit from these sample midterms if you attempt all the questions first, before reading the solutions.
  2. Not all topics you are responsible for are represented on these sample midterms. The exact material you are responsible for in each of this year’s midterms is explained here.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON SAMPLE MIDTERM 1S:

  1. The 2010 Midterm 1 posted above was 50 minutes long. Midterm 1 this year will be 60-minutes long, so it will be somewhat longer.
  2. You are responsible for integration by parts on Midterm 1, even though this topic is not included in the 2010 Midterm 1 given above.
  3. You are responsible for integration of trigonometric functions (section 7.2), even though this topic is not included in either the 2012 or 2010 Midterm 1.
  4. Volumes by cylindrical shells (section 6.3) was included in the past but is not included this year. So, you may ignore Question 3c) on the 2010 Midterm 1.
  5. Average value (section 6.5) was included in the past but is not included this year. So, you may ignore Question 6(b) on the 2012 Midterm 1.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON SAMPLE MIDTERM 2S:

  1. The 2011 Midterm 2 posted above was 50 minutes long. Midterm 2 this year will be 60-minutes long, so it will be somewhat longer.
  2. Hydrostatic pressure and force was included in the past but is not included this year. So, you may ignore Question 3 on the 2011 Midterm 2.
  3. You are not responsible for the material in sections 11.3 and 11.4, even though these topics were included in the 2012 Midterm 2 given above.

Sample Final Exams

The last three April final exams for MATH 101are posted below, together with solutions to the most recent two. Also, Math Exam Resources is a wiki produced by Math graduate students that provides hints, study tips, and solutions to several past final exams (currently eight old MATH 101 final exams are available), and near the end of term the Math Club will be selling packages containing recent old MATH 101 final exams together with solutions.

Note that the topics covered in MATH 101 have changed recently, so some questions from old exams are not relevant. Also, there may be topics you are responsible for this year that are not included in old exams. See the course outline for a detailed listing of topics covered this year.
