SAMPLE EXAM QUESTIONS also form a part of the core, they are available from the Math
Dept’s Math 114 Web Page:
https://www.math.upenn.edu/undergraduate/calculus-homepages/calculus/mathematics-114
The core problems indicate the kind of basic problems you will need to be able to solve by
hand. They also provide a guide to the basic level of difficulty to be expected on the final
exam.
