Math 11: Resources
- FALL 2010
Practise questions for exams, and the exam solutions
- Midterm 1
- Fall 2010 midterm 1 with solutions and grading scheme.
These are not model solutions, but enable you to check answers and see how we broke down the grading of points.
- Fall 2008 midterm 1. Notes: solutions are written in, so cover them to test yourself! We will not have as many multiple choice as this. #1a we didn't do; #5 is quite hard.
- Practise problems from Fall 2007/2008 and their solutions. Notes: #1,2 are thought-provoking and non-standard, so save for after you've done the other ones; #10 uses symmetric form of line equation, we didn't do; #13 we didn't do distance between planes so only try if need amusement; skip #18. #22 the solution is wrong: n should be <6,4,-1> with consequence for plane eqn.
- Fall 2004 midterm 1
Notes: ours will not be all multiple choice format like this.
But we may have True/False questions. (Answers: dddbbccdcc)
- NYU Spring 2003 practise problems
and solutions.
Notes: #2 not needed; #4 is a little 2D for us, so don't worry about it.
- NYU Spring 2003 midterm 1,
and solutions.
Notes: distance in #3 not needed; #4 not needed.
- Midterm 2
- Final
- Fall 2010 final
with rough solutions and grading
scheme.
- Practise problems for Fall 2007/2008, and solutions. Notes: 1c and 12 you can ignore. 4 is nice (sketch the surface first).
- Practise exams from 2005:
Midterm 1,
Midterm 2, and
Final.
- Fall 2004 final.
Notes: Looks like some great questions.
We won't have a multiple-choice format like this.
For # 3 we'd remind you of the definition of Laplace operator.
# 4 can skip since we haven't done constructing f from its grad in 3D.
Answers:
1. b, 2. d, 3. d, 4. d, 5. c, 6. b, 7. c, 8. c, 9. c, 10. a, 11. b, 12. d, 13. a, 14. d, 15. d, 16. b, 17. a, 18. c, 19. a, 20. c, 21. d, 22. c, 23. b, 24. a, 25. a
- Practise NYU Spring 2003 final,
and solutions.
Notes: skip 7, or maybe find the total mass instead of the center of mass?
- NYU Spring 2003 final, with
solutions.
- NYU Spring 2002 midterm.
- NYU Fall 2002 final.
- NYU Fall 2002 midterm.
- Another NYU Fall 2002 midterm.
Notes: skip the last question on probability.
Review notes
Graphing / visualization tools
MATLAB: entirely optional, but a great plotting/computing package that will serve you well in the future
- Download the software from
Dartmouth
we have 100 or so on-campus licenses (to work you must be online in
dartmouth.edu
domain).
- Susan A. Schwarz
(email her if you have
Mac OS 10.2 or earlier for install CDs) can help with
installation issues.
