Actually, the package uses the +lcg package (by Erich Janka) to generate random integers, while +rangen builds rational numbers and decimal numbers from the +generated integers. My purpose in writing this package was to be +able to create random questions for the quizzes of exerquiz (part of +AeB). Indeed, that is what you can do with this package: Write a +quiz question based on a template (for example, differentiate +$\a x^{\n}$ , where \a and \n are RVs (random variables) generated with +rangen); determine if the user input is correct; and display the +correct answer to the question. + +Beta Testers wanted: The package is still in development. I would +invite anyone interested to test the package, looking for bugs. +Also, suggested features would be appreciated. + +The rangen package requires the insdljs package from AeB. The +package can be used without exerquiz, perhaps there are some +applications to the generation of random numbers. As pointed out in +the documentation, the fp package can be used to manipulate the +numbers created by rangen. + +The home page for rangen is + + http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/rangen.html + +The home page for AeB is + + http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/webeq.html + +Comments and suggestions are always gratefully accepted and seriously +considered. + +D.
