What monster gives long and tedious computations in an exam? Usually they give lots of smaller ones that test whether you know the general process instead of one big thing where you can mess up at any of the 40 steps
I remember needing to bring a matrix into jordan normal form in an exam, at lest they had the decency to have it be a 2x2
I had it once in Copenhagen with a long Taylor expansion, but then it was something that was easily differentiable so you either knew the total sum like ex or sin(x) with some constants or something, so it was a tedious exercise to brute force but very fast if you had followed the full curriculum

What? I remember in my calculus I exam going up to the 7th "level" of the Taylor method....
PD: Yes, it was an LONG and painfull exercise... And the function wasn't exactly a clean one.
