Math 1207 Calculus II

Final: Due on Friday, May 8 by 6:00pm

Organisation: This is technically a 2-hour take-home Final Exam. If you feel
confident with the materials it will not take more. There are 8 exercises. The
first three are shorter than the last five exercises.

Instructions: No points will be given if only the answer is written and you
have to make sure that what you write is readable. Therefore, any answer
must be preceded by explanations that justify it, such as arguments or
computations. You can use your notes but try to not use a calculator. Fur-
thermore, your work must be sent by e-mail to me as a single-pdf file named
yourfamilyname-final.
