Math 126 - Old Exam Archive

Before you use the archive below, please understand that the presentation and coverage of topics will be slightly different from quarter-to-quarter. In particular in the winter of 2018, there were quite a few changes that will take effect from that point moving forward (no more tangent lines for polar, binormal, normal plane, oscullating plane, average value and differentials). Your number one source for studying should always be the homework. Anything on the homework is fair game. If you see something in an old exam that covers a concept that was not covered in the homework, then you can safely skip that old exam problem (but ask me if you are unsure).

In my old honors calculus courses, we cover the same material, but more in depth. Those exams require a stronger understanding of the material and a better ability to adapt. I suggest you ignore those exams and study the regular exams in this archive and in the departmental archives. Only look at the honors exams if you are wanting an extra challenge.
