*[http://201301math256.wordpress.com MATH 256 Chem. and Bio. Eng focus (winter 2013)] - including solutions to some old assignments problems, old midterms etc. Note that the content this year will be subtly different so some questions might not be relevant this year and some topics covered this year might not appear. Ask me if you want to confirm anything you aren't sure about.
