Mistakes in Sample Exam Spring 2007 and Fall 2008

The solution to problem 5 of Spring 2007 Final has the following errors:
Eq. 54 is missing two more orders in omega.
Eq. 55 and 56 are missing a T., which propagates further in the solutions.
The solution to problem 1.5 of Fall 2008 is correct in the expression for theta, but wrong in sketch: blue should appear lower than red.
