2/01: The only vector calculus exams I have are from my Math 380 - Advanced Calculus class last summer. Not all of the problems are applicable to our class (in fact, for this exam, most are not), but they will give you and understanding as to how I construct exam questions. It has been many years since I have taught Calc III and I can not find any of the exams.
