Points of interest relating to last year's exam:

• Owing to a minor arithmetical error, the marks actually total 96 instead of 100.
• Of the 96 marks, 29 were awarded for knowing definitions.
• Question 4 was an assignment question last year.
• Question 6(ii) was a tutorial question.
• The proof asked for in Question 8 was given in detail in lectures; so this was "book work". While I admit that this was a hard question, proofs from lectures are fair game as exam questions, provided they are not too long. (This one is probably as hard as I would ever ask.)
• Question 7 was an unseen problem, meant to sort out the top students.

Last year's exam may or may not be a good guide to this year's. At least I can say that its style is fairly typical of exams that I have set in the past and will set in the future.
