Sample Exams (Midterm 1):
Here are some sample midterms. I've indicated which problems are about material we've covered.
Ribet, Fall '05 - All (except the last part of #3 about perpendicular vectors). Also, here are some Solutions.
Lenstra, Fall '94 - Problems 1, 2, 4. I also wrote up some solutions to this one. You're welcome!
Gu, Fall '07 - All (Notes: Problem 3 is harder than anything on my midterm. In Problem 5, the "image of a matrix" means the column space, or the range of A as a linear transformation)
Vojta, Spring '01 - Problems 1(a)-(d), 2, 3, 4, 6, 7.

Midterm 1: Solutions, Statistics

Sample Exams (Midterm 2):
Here are some sample midterms. I've indicated which problems are about material we've covered.
Ribet, Fall '05 - All (except the last part of #3 about the orthogonal basis). Also, here are some Solutions.
Lenstra, Fall '94 - Problems 1, 2, 4.
Bergman, Spring '96 - Problems 1(all), 2(a,b,e,f), 3.
Vojta, Spring '01 - Problems 1 (RS and CS are row space and column space), 2, 5, 6, 7. I also wrote up some solutions to this one.

Midterm 2: Solutions, Statistics

Sample Exams (Final):
Here are some sample finals. I've indicated which problems are similar to problems I might give.
Ribet, Fall '05 Problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 (not 5, 8, or 9). Also, here are some Solutions.
Lenstra, Fall '94 Problems 1, 2, 3 (not 4 or 5).
Tener, Summer '09 Problems 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 (not 4 or 5).
Tucker-Simmons, Summer '09 Problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (not 5 or 7 - although note that 7 is an extra credit problem - I could conceivably do something like this). Notes: In the first problem (1.1), there is a typo: the differential equation should be y'' + 10y' + 25y = 0. In problem 2.3, "orthogonally diagonalize" means that the basis of eigenvectors should be an orthogonal basis.
I've written up solutions to this one.
