Math 307 - Old Exam Archive
This is a collection of old exams and solutions from varous quarters and instructors for Math 307.WARNING: Many of these exams will NOT line up exactly with our order of presentation of the material and/or cover additional topics. In some quarters, instructors give only one midterm (which means it covers a lot more), some of these finals are from summer quarter (where the students have less time), at certain times we covered some sections in a different order, and for many other reasons don't expect these to line up exactly. So you need to take that into consideration when looking at these exams. When we get closer to the each exam I will review and indicate particular problems to study.
| EXAM 1 | SOLUTIONS | COMMENTS |
| Spring 15 (Loveless) | Solutions | |
| Winter 14 (Spicer) | Solutions | |
| Winter 14 Prac (Spicer) | Solutions | |
| Spring 13 (Erickson) | Solutions | |
| Spring 12 (Grigg) | Solutions | On problem 2, there's a typo in the last line of the solution, (it should be divided by 4 instead of 6). Problems 3 and 4 are chapter 3 material (not on our first midterm) |
| Winter 11 (Grigg) | Solutions | |
| Summer 11 Prac (McMurdie) | Solutions | Problems 5 and 6 are chapter 3 material (not on our first midterm) |
| Winter 12 (Rudnick) | Solutions | |
| Winter 12 (Rudnick) | Solutions | |
| Summer 13 (Sarantsev) | Solutions |
| EXAM 2 | SOLUTIONS | COMMENTS |
| Spring 15 (Loveless) | Solutions | |
| Winter 13 Practice (Caday) | Solutions | The solutions for 3(b) gives the quasi-frequency instead of the quasi-period. Remember period = 2pi/freq. |
| Winter 13 (Caday) | Solutions | Ignore problem 3 (Note: Q-factor is defined to be Q = (mk)^(1/2)/y, where y = gamma. If you were told this, then you could do the problem.) |
| Spring 13 (Erickson) | Solutions | For problem 3(a), you would need some formulas from 3.8 to distinguish the last two graphs, but you should be able to quickly sort them based on which is closer to resonance. |
| Winter 13 (Erickson) | Solutions | |
| Winter 11 (Grigg) | Solutions | |
| Winter 11 (Sisodia) | Solutions | |
| Summer 13 (Sarantsev) | Solutions | |
| Fall 13 (Roberts) | Solutions | I don't have the blank exam, solutions included. |
| Winter 13 (Huy) | Solutions | |
| Winter 14 (Spicer) | Solutions | Ignore problems 5(b)(c)(d), they use a formulas we did not discuss. |
| Winter 14 Practice (Spicer) | Solutions | Ignore problem 2(b), I believe there is a problem with the solving for alpha. Ignore problem 4(b)(c), they use formulas we did not discuss. |
| Fall 01 (Palmieri) | Solutions | Problem 4(a) is not required for studying, it is about a formula that we did not discuss. |
| FINAL | SOLUTIONS | COMMENTS |
| Spring 2015 Final (Loveless) | Solutions | |
| Practice Final (McMurdie) | Solutions | Ignore problem 2a (substitution). |
| Summer 2011 Final (McMurdie) | Solutions | Ignore problem 6. |
| Fall 14 (Spicer) | Solutions | Hint: For 3(b), you need to know that sin^2(t) = sin^2(t-pi). |
| Winter 14 (Spicer) | Solutions | Ignore problems 6(c)(d), they use a formulas we did not discuss. |
| Winter 14 Practice (Spicer) | Solutions | |
| Final (Riley) | Solutions | Ignore problem 3. |
| Spring 13 (Erickson) | Solutions | You can ignore the second row on problem 2. |
| Winter 13 Practice (Caday) | Solutions | |
| Winter 13 (Erickson) | Solutions | |
| Winter 13 (Rudnick) | Solutions | |
| Spring 12 (Grigg) | Solutions | Ignore problem 6, it is from section 6.5 which we did not cover. |
| Summer 13 (Sarantsev) | Solutions | Ignore problem 3. |
