Exam questionsMAS212 / MATH1B

2006-2009

MAS212 is calculus of several variables for mathematical sciences students. MATH1Bis calculus of several variables plus something else for CN Yang scholars. The curriculumhas been changed and this something else was partial differential equations in 2007-2008and basics of linear algebra in 2009.

This brochure contains all final exams for MAS212, years 2006-2009 (the course didn’texist before that), all final exams for MATH1B, years 2007-2009 (the course didn’t existbefore that), mid-term exams, years 2008-2009 (earlier mid-terms have been lost).
