The midterm exam document provides instructions and 6 problems to solve for partial differential equations (PDE). It instructs students to solve 4 of the 6 problems and clearly indicate which problems they wish marked. The problems cover determining if an ODE is exact and solving it, identifying linear and non-linear ODEs, performing a substitution to obtain a new linear ODE, modeling cake cooling with an exponential function, and solving an ODE using a substitution of the form u=Ax+By+C. Students have 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete 4 of the problems out of a possible 40 points.
