Calculus (Sci.)
Dobson Files
by Norman Dobson, edited by Thomas Gideon
(Thanks to Daniel Gatien for proofreading.)
These exercises were given by the late Norman Dobson under the title “Final Exam Problems.” They are excellent problems in preparation for examinations. I have used them with students in the past and have found that industrious students improve their performance by doing these problems.
