Mathematical Analysis Exam
Mathematical Analysis Exam
University of Warsaw
Department of Economics
26 June 2020
Attention: You are expected to answer the paper on your own. One of you photographs
should contain your personal declaration that you were unassisted. While correct answers
are important, the exam is mainly concerned with how well you justify your answers using
theorems and calculations to build logical arguments. So correct answers obtained from a
software package without calculations and proof will not be enough to pass.
The answers should be submitted within 2.5 hours to me: Ben Warhurst, in at most
5 photographs contained in a single zip file named: your name-AnII.zip, e.g., Napoleon-
Bonaparte-AnII.zip.
