This package was + designed with specifically mathematics problems in mind, but can + be used for other subjects as well. The idea is to create a file + containing a large number of problems with their solutions which + can be read in by LaTeX, and then select a number of problems to + typeset. This means that once the database has been set up, each + year you can easily create a new problem sheet that is sufficiently + different from the previous year, thus preventing the temptation + of current students seeking out the previous year's students, + and checking out their answers. There is also an option that can be + passed to the package to determine whether or not the solutions + should be printed. In this way, one file can either produce + the student's version or the teacher's version. + + <h2><a name=options>Package Options</a></h2> + The following options may be passed to this package: +<p> +<table> +<tr><td><tt> answers</tt></td><td>Show the answers</td></tr> +<tr><td><tt> noanswers</tt></td><td>Don't show the answers (default)</td></tr> +</table> + +<h2><a name=commands>Commands Provided</a></h2> +<h3><a name=newproblem>Creating a New Problem</a></h3> + +<tt>\newproblem[</tt><em>nargs</em><tt>]{</tt><em>label</em><tt>}{</tt><em>problem</em><tt>}{</tt><em>solution</em><tt>}</tt> +<p> + A new problem is defined using the command <tt>\newproblem</tt>. This does not print anything, + but merely stores the problem. The argument <em>label</em> is a unique string that is + assigned to this problem so that it can be used later. The argument <em>problem</em> + is normal LaTeX code that should be used to typeset the problem. The argument + <em>solution</em> is normal LaTeX code that should be used to typeset the solution, + if required. For example: +<a name=quaddiff> +<pre> +\newproblem{quaddiff}{% +% This is the problem +\begin{displaymath} +f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 4 +\end{displaymath} +}{% +% This is the solution +\begin{displaymath} +f'(x) = 2x + 3 +\end{displaymath} +} +</pre></a> +<p> + The optional argument <em>nargs</em> specifies the number of parameters this + problem will take. By default this value is 0, but any value from 1 to 9 + may be used. Each parameter is refered to by <tt>#1</tt>, <tt>#2</tt>, ..., <tt>#9</tt>. + For example, the following problem takes one parameter: +<a name=sindiff> +<pre> +\newproblem[1]{sindiff}{% +\(f(x) = \sin(#1x)\) +}{% +\(f'(x) = #1\cos(#1x)\) +} +</pre></a> + + The <a href=#quaddiff><tt>quaddiff</tt></a> problem shown above can be made more generic by using parameters: +<pre> +\newcount\ctr +\newproblem[3]{diff:quad}{% +\(f(x) = +\ifnum#1=0 +\else +\ifnum#1=1\else#1\fi x^2 +\fi +\ifnum#2=0 +\else +\ifnum#2>0 \ifnum#1=0 \else + \fi \fi +\ifnum#2=1\else#2\fi x +\fi +\ifnum#3=0 +\else +\ifnum#3>0 \ifnum#2=0 \ifnum#1=0 \else + \fi \else + \fi\fi +#3 +\fi\) +}{% +\(f'(x) = +\ifnum#1=0 +\else +\ctr=2 +\multiply\ctr by #1 +\the\ctr x +\fi +\ifnum#2=0 +\else +\ifnum#2>0 \ifnum#1=0 \else + \fi \fi +#2 +\fi + % print 0 if both #1 and #2 are 0 +\ifnum#1=0 \ifnum#2=0 0 \fi\fi +\) +} +</pre> + The three parameters correspond to the coefficients. Note that they + must all be integers since TeX only performs integer arithmetic. +<p> + To generate a database, simply create a <tt>.tex</tt> file where all the problems + are defined using <tt>\newproblem</tt>, and either <tt>\input</tt> it at the + start of your document if you want to <a href=#sec:useprob>use specific problems</a>, or + pass it to <a href=#sec:selran><tt>\selectrandomly</tt></a>. + +<h3><a name=sec:useprob>Displaying a Problem</a></h3> + +<tt>\useproblem{</tt><em>label</em><tt>}</tt> +<p> + Once a problem has be defined using <tt>\newproblem</tt>, it can be typeset + using the command <tt>\useproblem</tt>.
