% \section{Introduction}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% \subsection{Package goal}
% The package \exsol{} provides macros to allow
% embedding exercises and solutions in the \LaTeX{} source of an
% instructional text (e.g., a book or a course text) while keeping the
% exercises and the solutions seperately in the typeset result.
% 
% In \emph{global mode} (the default), this corresponds to generating
% the following separate documents:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item your original text that only contains the exercises, and
% \item a solution book that only contains the solutions to the
% exercises (a package option exists to also copy the exercises
% themselves to the solution book). 
% \end{itemize}
% The former is generated when running \LaTeX{} on your document. This
% run writes the solutions to a secondary file that can be included
% into a simple document harness, such that when running \LaTeX{} on
% the latter, you can generate a nice solution book.
%
% In \emph{local mode} (invoked by specifying the package option 'local'),
% this corresponds to inserting the saved solutions in the current
% document at a later stage in the text.
% 
% \subsection{Why use \exsol{}?}
% \begin{itemize}
% \item It allows to keep the \LaTeX{} source of your exercises and their
% solutions together in a single file, next to each other. Away with
% the nightmare to keep your solutions in sync with the exercises!
% \item It separates exercises and solutions, allowing you
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item to only release the solution book to the instructors of the
%     course (using global mode);
%   \item to encourage students to first try solving the exercises
%   without peeking into the list of solutions (or the solution book).
%   \end{itemize}
% \end{itemize}
% 
% \subsection{Credits}
% The code of the \exsol{} package was taken almost literally
% from \textsf{fancyvrb} \cite{fancyvrb}. Therefore, all credits go to
% the authors/maintainers of \textsf{fancyvrb}.
%
% Thanks to Paul Levrie, Pieter Pareit, Pekka Pere, Benjamin
% Grinstein and Philippe Marti for signaling problems and making
% suggestions for the improvement of the package and the
% documentation.
%
% \subsection{Note}
% As of version 1.2, the package also contains facilities for
% generating a formula collection. The only limitation is that
% exercises and solutions cannot be part of the formula collection.
% Though this is a restriction, it is not a severe one in my
% opinion. Formula collections should be as concise as they can be.
% 
% Though generating formula collections goes beyond exercises and
% solutions, I chose not to change the package's name
% \exsol{}. Einstein's name was also not changed into Relativistic
% Einstein when he got to understand the theory of relativity.
%
% \section{Installation}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Either you are a package manager and then you'll know how to
% prepare an installation package for \exsol{}.
%
% Either you are a normal user and then you have two options. First,
% check if there is a package that your favorite \LaTeX{}
% distributor has prepared for you. Second, grab the TDS package
% from CTAN \cite{CTAN} (|exsol.tds.zip|) and unzip it
% somewhere in your own TDS tree, regenerate your filename database
% and off you go. 
% In any case, make sure that \LaTeX{} finds the |exsol.sty|
% file. 
%
% The \exsol{} package uses some auxiliary packages:
% \textsf{fancyvrb}, 
% \textsf{ifthen}, \textsf{kvoptions} and, optionally,
% \textsf{babel}. Fetch them from CTAN \cite{CTAN} if your \TeX{}
% distributor does not provide them.
%
% \section{Usage}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% 
% \subsection{Preparing your document source}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% \subsubsection{Loading the package}
% The macro package exsol can be loaded with:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \usepackage{exsol}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% Your first choice to make is where you want your solutions to
% appear. The primary objective of the exsol package was 'global
% mode', i.e. separating your solutions from the exercises,
% gathering the solutions in a separate book.
% To this end, don't specify the package option '|[local]|', or
% specify '|[local=false]|'. 
%
% A second mode of operation is 'local mode'. This allows grouping
% your exercises in series and including them later in your text.
% Gathering exercises in (numbered) series and 'loading' them locally
% in your text, allows for simplifying the
% individual exercise numbers (omitting their prefix containing,
% chapter number, section number, subsection number a.s.o.). 
%
% \subsubsection{Global mode - flat grouping exercises}
% Adding exercises together with their solutions in your document is
% easy. Just embed them in a
% |exercise| and a corresponding |solution| environment.
% Optionally, you may embed several of them in a |exercises|
% environment to make them stand out in your text.
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{exercises}[columns=2]
%
%   \begin{exercise}
%     Calculate $y = 5 + 7$
%   \end{exercises}
%   \begin{solution}
%     $y = 12$
%   \end{solution}
%
%   \begin{exercise}
%     Calculate $y = 7 - 12$
%   \end{exercises}
%   \begin{solution}
%     $y = -5$
%   \end{solution}
%
% \end{exercises}
% \end{verbatim}
% 
% The optional argument of the exercises environment allows specifying
% the typesetting in multiple columns.
%
% On how to generate a solution book, take a look at the examples in
% section~\ref{examplesglobal}.
%
% \subsubsection{Local mode - grouping of exercises in series}
% One might also consider to keep the solutions in the same text, in
% local mode. In this case, we advise to gather the exercises in
% series (e.g. according to their degree of difficulty). This can be
% done by using the |exerciseseries| environment instead of the
% |exercises| environment.
% This environment takes and also takes a
% mandatory label argument. 
% In addition it takes two optional arguments:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |columns| to specify the amount of clumns 
% \item |exsubrule| to specify the creation of a horizontal rule below
% the exercise series.
% \item |solsubrule| to specify the creation of a horizontal rule below
% the solution series.
% \item |subrule| to specify the creation of a horizontal rule below
% the exercise and the solution series.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% 
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{exerciseseries}[columns=2,subrule=\hrule]{Easy exercises}
%
%   \begin{exercise}
%     Calculate $y = 5 + 7$
%   \end{exercise}
%   \begin{solution}
%     $y = 12$
%   \end{solution}
%
%   \begin{exercise}
%     Calculate $y = 7 - 12$
%   \end{exercise}
%   \begin{solution}
%     $y = -5$
%   \end{solution}
%
% \end{exerciseseries}
%
% \begin{exerciseseries}{Difficult exercises}
%
%   \begin{exercise}
%     Calculate $y = 5 \cdot 7$
%   \end{exercise}
%   \begin{solution}
%     $y = 35$
%   \end{solution}
%
%   \begin{exercise}
%     Calculate $y = 8 / 4$
%   \end{exercise}
%   \begin{solution}
%     $y = 2$
%   \end{solution}
%
% \end{exerciseseries}
% \end{verbatim}

% \subsection{Examples}

\section{Introduction}

In this text we explain how to solve second-order polynomial
equations. 

\section{Solving second-order polynomial equations}

\begin{informulacollectiononly}
\section*{Solving second-order polynomial equations}
\end{informulacollectiononly}
\begin{informulacollection}
  The roots of the following equation
  \begin{equation}
    a x^2 + bx + c = 0
  \end{equation}
  can be determined as:
  \begin{equation}
    x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4 a c}}{2 a}
  \end{equation}
\end{informulacollection}

\begin{exercises}[columns = 2]

  \begin{exercise}
    Solve the following equation for $x \in C$, with $C$ the set of
    complex numbers:
    \begin{equation}
      5 x^2 -3 x = 5
    \end{equation}
  \end{exercise}
  \begin{solution}
    Let's start by rearranging the equation, a bit:
    \begin{eqnarray}
      5.7 x^2 - 3.1 x &=& 5.3\\
      5.7 x^2 - 3.1 x -5.3 &=& 0
    \end{eqnarray}
    The equation is now in the standard form:
    \begin{equation}
      a x^2 + b x + c = 0
    \end{equation}
    For quadratic equations in the standard form, we know that two
    solutions exist:
    \begin{equation}
      x_{1,2} = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{d}}{2a}
    \end{equation}
    with
    \begin{equation}
      d = b^2 - 4 a c
    \end{equation}
    If we apply this to our case, we obtain:
    \begin{equation}
      d = (-3.1)^2 - 4 \cdot 5.7 \cdot (-5.3) = 130.45
    \end{equation}
    and
    \begin{eqnarray}
      x_1 &=& \frac{3.1 + \sqrt{130.45}}{11.4} = 1.27\\
      x_2 &=& \frac{3.1 - \sqrt{130.45}}{11.4} = -0.73
    \end{eqnarray}
    The proposed values $x = x_1, x_2$ are solutions to the given equation.
  \end{solution}
  \begin{exercise}
    Consider a 2-dimensional vector space equipped with a Euclidean
    distance function. Given a right-angled triangle, with the sides
    $A$ and $B$ adjacent to the right angle having lengths, $3$ and
    $4$, calculate the length of the hypotenuse, labeled $C$.
  \end{exercise}
  \begin{solution}
    This calls for application of Pythagoras' theorem, which 
    tells us:
    \begin{equation}
      \left\|A\right\|^2 + \left\|B\right\|^2 = \left\|C\right\|^2
    \end{equation}
    and therefore:
    \begin{eqnarray}
      \left\|C\right\| 
      &=& \sqrt{\left\|A\right\|^2 + \left\|B\right\|^2}\\
      &=& \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}\\
      &=& \sqrt{25} = 5
    \end{eqnarray}
    Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse equals $5$.
  \end{solution}
\end{exercises}
And now, we can come to conclusion.
\section{Conclusion}
Solving second-order polynomial equations is very easy.

% The result in the original document, can be seen in the file
% |example.pdf|. As you can see, the formulacollection entry and the
% exercise appear. There's no trace of the solution.
%
% When running \LaTeX{} on your document (e.g., the file example.tex
% as part of the exsol package, as a side effect files with the
% extension |.sol.tex| and |.fc.tex| have been written
% to disk (in our case, the files |example.sol.tex| and
% |example.fc.tex|), containing all solutions and entries for
% the formula collection in sequence.
%
% Generating a solution book is as simple as including the solution
% file into a simple \LaTeX{} harness, that allows you giving it a
% proper title page and to add other bells and whistles.

% \subsection{Fiddling with the spacing}
%
% The default spacing provided by the \textsf{ExSol} package should be
% fine for most users. However, if you like to tweak, below you can
% find the controls.
% 
% As the formula collection generation is intended to interfere as
% little as possible with the flow of the main document, you will
% notice that it is impossible to control the extra spacing, as no
% extra spacing should originate from using the
% |informulacollection| environment.
%
% \subsubsection{Spacing before and after the \texttt{exercises} environment}
%
% The lengths below control the spacing of the |exercises| environment:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |exsolexerciseaboveskip|: rubber length controlling the
% vertical space after the top marker line of the environment
% \item |exsolexercisebelowskip|: rubber length controlling the
% vertical space before the bottom marker line of the environment
% \end{itemize}
%
% You can simply specify them like:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \setlength{\exsolexercisesaboveskip}{1ex plus 1pt minus 1pt}
% \setlength{\exsolexercisesbelowskip}{1ex plus 1pt minus 1pt}
% \end{verbatim}
% The spacings specified here are the package defaults.
%
% \subsubsection{Spacing of the individual exercises}
% Caution: the spacing can only be tuned, when one invokes the
% |exerciseaslist| package option!
%
% Then lengths below control the spacing of the |exercise| environment:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |exercisetopbottomsep|: rubber length controlling the vertical
% space before and after individual exercises
% \item |exerciseleftmargin|: length controlling the horizontal
% space between the surrounding environment's left margin (most
% often the page margin) and the left edge of the exercise
% environment 
% \item |exerciseleftmargin|: length controlling the horizontal
% space between the surrounding environment's right margin (most
% often the page margin) and the right edge of the exercise
% environment
% \item |exerciseitemindent|: length controlling the first-line
% indentation of the first paragraph in the exercise environment
% (actually, the label is set w.r.t. this position, that we will
% conveniently call position 'x')
% \item |exerciseparindent|: length controlling the first-line
% indentation of the other paragraphs in the exercise environment.
% \item |exerciselabelsep|: length controlling the distance between
% the label and position 'x'
% \item |exerciselabelwidth|: minimal width of the (internally
% right-alligned) box to use for the exercises label; if the box is
% not sufficiently big, position 'x' is shifted to the right
% \item |exerciseparsep|: internal paragraph separation (vertically)
% \end{itemize}
% 
% You can simply specify them like:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \setlength{\exsolexercisetopbottomsep}{0pt plus 0pt minus 1pt}
% \setlength{\exsolexerciseleftmargin}{1em}
% \setlength{\exsolexerciserightmargin}{1em}
% \setlength{\exsolexerciseparindent}{0em}

% \setlength{\exsolexerciseitemindent}{0pt}
% \setlength{\exsolexerciseparsep}{\parskip}
% \end{verbatim}
% The spacings specified here are the package defaults.
%
% \subsection{Tips and tricks}
%
% If you want to include the solutions all at the
% end of the current document in global mode, you need to explicitly
% close the solution stream before including it:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \closeout\solutionstream\input{\jobname.sol.tex}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% If you want to avoid exercises being split by a page boundary, then
% provide the package option 'minipage'. This causes the exercises to
% be wrapped in a minipage environment.

%<*package>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Auxiliary packages}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The package uses some auxiliary packages:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{ifmtarg}
\RequirePackage{fancyvrb}
\RequirePackage{ifthen}
\RequirePackage{kvoptions}
\RequirePackage{multicol}
\RequirePackage{varwidth}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Package options}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The package offers some options:
%
% \changes{v1.2}{2016/05/05}{Added option local}
% \begin{macro}{local}
%  This boolean option (true, false) allows setting the mode of the
%  package into local, i.e. that the numbering of the exercises is not
%  related to the position in the document, but uses it's own local
%  counter in combination with a exerciseseries counter.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareBoolOption[false]{local}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \changes{v1.2}{2016/05/05}{Added option nolabels}
% \begin{macro}{nolabels}
%  This boolean option (true, false) allows suppressing the 'Exercise'
%  and 'Solution' label that normally appear before the exercise and
%  solution number.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareBoolOption[false]{nolabels}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \changes{v0.2}{2012/01/06}{Added option exercisesfont}
% \changes{v0.4}{2012/01/09}{Changed name of option to
% exercisesfontsize}
%
% \begin{macro}{exercisesfontsize}
%  This option allows setting the font of the |exercises|
%  environment. You may chopse one of tiny, scriptsize, footnotesize,
%  small, normalsize, large, etc.\\
%  E.g., |[exercisesfontsize=small]|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareStringOption[normalsize]{exercisesfontsize}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \changes{v0.4}{2012/01/06}{Added option exercisesinlist}
% \changes{v0.5}{2012/01/09}{Changed option exercisesinlist to exerciseaslist}
%
% \begin{macro}{exerciseaslist}
%  This boolean option (true, false) allows setting the typesetting of
%  the |exercises| in a list environment. This causes the
%  exercises to be typeset in a more compact fashion, with indented
%  left and right margin. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareBoolOption[false]{exerciseaslist}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \changes{v0.5}{2012/01/09}{Added option copyexercisesinsolutions}
% \begin{macro}{copyexercisesinsolutions}
%  This boolean option (true, false) allows copying the exercises in
%  the solutions file, to allow for making a complete stand-alone
%  exercises bundle.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareBoolOption[false]{copyexercisesinsolutions}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \changes{v0.9}{2014/07/28}{. Changed default behavior
% w.r.t. minipage-wraping of exercises}
% \begin{macro}{minipage}
%  This boolean option (true, false) causes the exercises to be
%  wrapped in minipages. This avoids them getting split by a page
%  boundary.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareBoolOption[false]{minipage}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \changes{v1.4}{2018/10/23}{. added 'usesolutionserieslabels' option}
% \begin{macro}{usesolutionserieslabels}
%  This boolean options (true,false) causes the exerciseseries label
%  to be reused when inserting the corresponding solutionseries.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareBoolOption[false]{usesolutionserieslabels}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}

%
% \subsection{Customization of lengths}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The commands below allow customizing many lengths that control the
% typesetting of the exercises.
%
% \changes{v0.91}{2014/08/31}{added user-accessible lengths}
% First some lengths to control the spacing before and after |exercises|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newlength{\exsolexercisesaboveskip}
\setlength{\exsolexercisesaboveskip}{0ex plus 1pt minus 1pt}
\addtolength{\exsolexercisesaboveskip}{-2\baselineskip}
\newlength{\exsolexercisesbelowskip}
\setlength{\exsolexercisesbelowskip}{0ex plus 1pt minus 1pt}
\addtolength{\exsolexercisesbelowskip}{\baselineskip}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Then some lengths to control the spacing for a single
% exercise. These lengths only work when the |exerciseaslist| package
% option has been specified. Sensible defaults have been set.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newlength{\exsolexercisetopbottomsep}
\setlength{\exsolexercisetopbottomsep}{0pt plus 0pt minus 1pt}
\newlength{\exsolexerciseleftmargin}
\setlength{\exsolexerciseleftmargin}{1em}
\newlength{\exsolexerciserightmargin}
\setlength{\exsolexerciserightmargin}{1em}
\newlength{\exsolexerciseparindent}
\setlength{\exsolexerciseparindent}{0em}
\newlength{\exsolexerciselabelsep}
\setlength{\exsolexerciselabelsep}{0.5em}

\newlength{\exsolexerciseparsep}
\setlength{\exsolexerciseparsep}{\parskip}
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% 
% \subsection{Con- and destruction of the auxiliary streams}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% At the beginning of your document, we start by opening a stream to a
% file that will be used to write the solutions to. At the end of your
% document, the package closes the stream.
% \changes{v0.8}{2014/07/15}{moved newwrite of exercise stream to this
% spot to avoid consuming all handles}
%    \begin{macrocode}

% \subsection{Series counter}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% By providing an exerciseseries counter, proper numbering of the
% exercise series is provided. Note that separate series, render the
% numbering of the exercises from document-global, to series-local,
% therefore hindering the concordance of solutions to exercises. 
%
