This mathematics exam sample contains 8 questions assessing students' abilities to determine convergence or divergence of series, find Taylor polynomials, integrals as power series, and other calculus topics. Students are instructed to show work, box final answers, and use only black or blue ink. The first question asks students to analyze convergence of two series involving factorials. The second examines a p-series and uses the integral test. Later questions involve alternating series, Taylor polynomials, intervals of convergence, and expressing an integral as a power series.
