<p>Searched the forums and found some helpful info, but not quite as much as I hoped for. Is there anyone here that could perhaps provide me the math 1920 final for practice? I found the prelims on the math 1920 website, but not the final exam.</p>
<p>also, any tips on the placement exam in general or what areas i should focus on the most? so far, i've learned about vectors, curl, divergence, partial deriatives, double/triple integrals, and starting on line integrals. not sure if im on the right track, but nevertheless determined to pass the exam.</p>
<p>I didn’t take 1920 (I took 2220, the arts&sciences version), but I think if you feel comfortable with the prelims, you would feel comfortable with a final exam as well</p>
<p>Alright, now, this is the homework… So one has a ton of time to do it.
How hard are the actual tests… They’re nothing like this, are they!?
Anymore links you can attach to help <em>me</em> out, Azn?</p>
<p>go to: blackboard.cornell.edu and enroll yourself in the Fall 2010 Multivariable course. There are lots of old exams there. </p>
<p>The homework for Math 1920 is harder than the prelims. That link you posted is about the level of the actual test you will take during orientation. The multivariable class here is a lot tougher than a high school calc 3 class. If you need to learn / review the material, best to use MIT OCW and a good textbook. Also, do lots and lots of problems + the old exams on blackboard. If you can’t access the site, message me your email and i’ll send you some old tests.</p>
<p>I also have a pdf textbook file that I could email you. It’s not the textbook at Cornell they use but still has some reference. I hardly use it though. PM me your email if you’re interested.</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply.
I might just go through the textbook they use at Cornell - will that do, Equilibrium?
I have tried the blackboard site before but did not find videos for 1920, only 2940.
Anyone want to learn this stuff together (Azn)? That should help with the motivation.</p>
<p>@Azn - I got the textbook they use at Cornell (want it? PM)</p>
<p>Haha, looking at it a second time…
Directional derivatives, linear approximation, double and triple integrals, and some other things.
Yeah, I guess it’s not that bad, I just was overwhelmed at the amount of words in each question… Haha.</p>
<p>Well looks like I might as well take the CASE exam to see if I should stay in Cal III or move to Diff Eq. So, I guess I need to review that stuff too. It’s going to be a pain remembering all of those formulas again. I’d love to get a copy of that textbook Supervisor. That reminds me, are you guys going to enroll in Diff Eq or Cal III next Wednesday? I’m probably going to pick Cal III and wait until after the CASE exam to change it.</p>
<p>I’m probably going to pick calc 3 as a backup incase worst comes to worst and i dont pass. somebody told me you can’t enroll anyway since you don’t have the pre-requisites satisfied yet.</p>

I could only find spring semesters on Videonote for some odd reason. I’m curious, do you remember what you need from 1920 for 2930? If it’s not too much, then I might just forget the CASE exam, review the stuff necessary on OCW, and go to 2930. I could get transfer credit for 1920, but our class didn’t get to some stuff like triple integrals, flux, surface integrals, stokes, and curl functions. Essentially, the last part of Cal III. Thanks!</p>

Spring 2011 only has (as far as math goes):
2940 - Linear Algebra for Engineers
I cannot find 1920.
Spring 2010 is this “BOOKPROJ” thing and SP09 is 2940.</p>
<p>Same here, I had the same luck as Supervisor. It looks like they deleted the videos. Though hopefully, the MIT OCW and a textbook will suffice, if you can confirm?</p>
<p>I’m hoping to pass the Math 1920 CASE exam too, and I just want to say I’m really glad I came across this helpful thread!
I have been going through the textbook and doing the HW problems listed under the Math 1920 Home page ([Math</a> 1920 Home page](<a href=“http://www.math.cornell.edu/~web1920/]Math”>http://www.math.cornell.edu/~web1920/)). I’ve been skipping the sections not listed on the lecture/homework schedule, which I hope is okay?
For anybody familiar with the CASE exam, do you think that sounds like that would suffice for a decent preparation? I’m a little behind on studying but am hoping to cram quite a bit in before orientation week.</p>
