Applied Problem Solving with Matlab
Sample Quizzes and Exams

This is the final resource page for this course. Here I have included the quizzes and exams given during the Fall 2017 semester. Typically, I gave a lot of short quizzes during the Matlab Fundamentals portion of the class in the early part of the semester -- so you will definitely see more quizzes focussed on these topics. Overall, however, the sample quizzes and exams available here represent a good overview of all the course topics and, if you can answer most of the questions and do most of the exercises given here, then you can be confident that you have mastered the bulk of the technical content associated with this course.

Note that I have purposely not included my solutions here -- since I want you to attempt these on your own as a test/confirmation that you were successful in understanding the key concepts from this course. And, certainly, you can always evaluate your own work by programming the requested code directly within Matlab, or by looking at similar examples that have already been given in the lectures, Matlab demos, illustrative applications, labs, and HW assignments on the above resource pages for this course. Overall, I hope all this material has been useful in helping you learn a little about Matlab programming and how to formulate and solve a number of engineering applications using the numerical methods discussed here. Good luck with all your future problem-solving tasks...
