    • The Math Library keeps a database of old exams here.
    • The most basic trig properties on one sheet. Many students rely on their calculators to reproduce these properties. Students should understand the drawings and how they imply the stated identities. Note that the addition formulas or even the double angle formulas are not on this sheet.
    • When not to use l'Hopital's rule. A few examples of limits where l‘Hopital provides the kind of help we all can do without.
