MATH 221 Exam 3, December 1992, Exams of Calculus

Questions from a december 1992 exam for a university-level mathematics 221 course. The exam covers topics such as taylor series, differential equations, and probability theory. Students are required to find the taylor series of a function, determine the derivative of a taylor series, solve differential equations using euler's method, identify constant solutions and increasing functions for a differential equation, and find the density function of a random variable given its cumulative distribution function.
