A proto-idea:

• Course:MATH110/Archive/2010-2011/003/Notes/Optimization/Problem_3

The Math Department makes past final exams available to students. For example, the April 2011 exam of MATH 101.

• Past Exams at the Math Department

To be more useful, we made it look like this:

• MATH 101, April 2011 exam, Question 7

A guided tour, from the home page
