Past Final Exams
The overall curriculum and level of expectations for our course are supposed to match well with the historical characteristics of MATH 340. Here are some recent final exams given by other instructors. Thanks to Professors Anstee and Rechnitzer for sharing. Prepared solutions for these tests are not available. Your instructor is happy to work on these questions together if you get stuck. |

Web-Powered Simplex Pivoter:
Most web browsers use Javascript, which is powerful enough to execute the Simplex Method on classroom-sized examples. Stefan Waner of Hofstra University supplies a lovely simplex-method script. [Since Javascript works by sending source code to your browser, you can use the "View Document Source" command to see exactly how the method works. If you save a copy on your own machine, it will work even when you are not connected to the internet!] |
