Ma 7251

1. The document appears to be an exam for a mathematics course assessing various topics in multivariable calculus and linear algebra. 2. It contains two parts - Part A with 5 short answer questions worth 2 marks each and Part B containing two longer problems worth 8 and 16 marks respectively about topics like matrices, vector calculus, and quadratic forms. 3. The questions assess a range of skills including finding eigenvalues, verifying theorems, determining quadratic forms, evaluating surface integrals using Stokes' theorem, diagonalizing matrices, and analyzing conservative vector fields.
