1 1 Introduction

The probsoln package is designed for teachers or lecturers who want to create problem -sheets for their students. This package was designed with 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 +class="ec-lmss-10x-x-109">probsoln package is designed for teachers or lecturers who want to +create problem sheets for their students.

The boolean variable showanswers

The boolean variable showanswers determines whether the answers should be displayed. You can use this value with the ifthen package to specify different text -depending on whether the solutions should be displayed. For example: +class="ec-lmss-10x-x-109">ifthen package to specify +different text depending on whether the solutions should be displayed. For +example: -

8.1 Randomly Selecting Problems Not Selected in Previous Documents

+

Suppose you have a large set of questions that you want to randomly select for +assignments and exams. The chances are, you don’t want to include questions +that have been previously set for, say, the last three years. That is, you don’t +want to select questions the students may already have seen. As from version +3.03, you can now do this. +

The probsoln package defaults to the UK academic year, which starts in +September. If this isn’t appropriate, you can change it using: +


\SetStartMonth  \foreachproblem[data set]{body}

-

+class="ec-lmtt-10x-x-109">\SetStartMonth{n}


+

+where nis the number of the month. (1 = January, 2 = February, +etc.) +

The start year is the calender year in effect when the academic +year started. For example, if this is the academic year 2011/12, then +the start year is 2011. This is automatically set to the start of the +current academic year. It is also updated when \SetStartMonth is +used.1 +If you want to set it to a specific year, you can use: +


\SetStartYear  \SetStartYear{year}

+

+For example: \SetStartYear{2008} indicates the academic year 2008/9. +

There are two files concerned with previously used labels. They are: +

+The previously used labels file
This keeps track of all problems used in + previous years, as well as problems used by other documents that have + this as their previously used labels file, and it contains the problem + labels from the last run of the current document. +
+The current used labels file
This defaults to \jobname.prb, but the name can + be changed using: +


\SetUsedFileName  \SetUsedFileName{name}

+

+ This file keeps track of all the labels used in the current document from + the previous LATEX run. Note that if you want to delete this file, first + clear it using + + +


\ClearUsedFile  \ClearUsedFile{file}

+

+ in place of \ExcludePreviousFile{file}, described below. The + argument fileis the previously used labels file described above. + \ClearUsedFile will remove all labels in the current used labels file from + the previously used labels file and clear the current used labels file. Once + this file is empty, it may then be deleted. +

+
+

Before loading randomly selected problems, first specify the previously used +labels file with the command: +


\ExcludePreviousFile  \ExcludePreviousFile[number of years]{file +name}

+

+where file nameis the name of the previously used file. The optional argument +number of yearsspecifies the year cut-off. This defaults to 3, which means that +only those labels used this year or the previous 2 years will be kept. Any +problems used before then may be reused. +

Suppose I’m lecturing a first year undergraduate mathematics course +(designated, say, mth101). I want to set assignments on each topic and an exam +at the end of the year (as well as a resit or second sitting paper). I’ve got +databases with problems for each topic, but the first and second sitting +exams mustn’t include any of the problems used in the assignments +or any problems used in assignments or exams for the previous two +academic years. I’m going to arrange my directory structure as follows: +

10 Random Number Generator

+

This package provides a pseudo-random number generator that is used by +\loadrandomproblems. As noted earlier the random number generator has been +modified in version 3.01 in order to fix a bug. If you want to ensure that your +random numbers are compatible with earlier versions, you can switch to the old +generator using +

11 Compatibility With Versions Prior to 3.0

Version 3.0 of the probsoln package completely changed the structure of the package, -but the commands described in this section have been provided to maintain -compatibility with earlier versions. The only problems that are likely to occur -are those where commands are contained within groups. This will effect any -commands that are contained in external files that are outside of the arguments to -\newproblem and \newproblem*. However, since the external files had to be -parsed twice in order to load the problems, this shouldn’t be an issue as adding -anything other than problem definitions in those files would be problematic -anyway. -

The other likely difference is where the random generator is used in a group. This -includes commands such as \selectrandomly. For example, if your document -contained something like: +
