MATH 101, Winter 2012 — Integral Calculus with Applications to Physical Sciences and Engineering

SAMPLE EXAMS

Sample Midterms

Midterms given in previous years are posted below; they provide guidelines on the type, length, and difficulty of questions to expect on this year’s midterms.

GENERAL NOTES:

  1. The sample midterms posted below were all 50 minutes long. The midterms this year will be 60-minutes long, so they will be somewhat longer.
  2. You will obtain the greatest benefit from these sample midterms if you attempt all the questions first, before reading the solutions.
  3. 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. You are responsible for integration by parts on Midterm 1, even though this topic is not included on the sample Midterm 1s given above.
  2. 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 and Questions 3c) and 3d) on the 2008 Midterm 1.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON SAMPLE MIDTERM 2S:

  1. You are responsible for the material in sections 11.3 and 11.4, even though these topics are not included on the sample Midterm 2s given above.
  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 Sample A and Question 1c) on the 2011 Midterm 2 Sample B.

Sample Final Exams

The last three April final exams for MATH 101are posted below, together with solutions to the most recent two. Also, the Math Club will be selling packages containing other recent old MATH 101 final exams together with solutions near the end of term. Note that the topics covered in MATH 101 have changed recently, so some questions from these old exams are not relevant (see below). Also, there may be topics you are responsible for this year that are not included in these sample exams (for example, section 11.4 is being covered for the first time in the course). See the course outline for a detailed listing of topics covered this year.
