Open Problem Library (OPL)
The Open Problem Library contains problems from several of the File Based Problem Libraries, including all of the problems from the Arizona State, Rochester, California State-Long Beach, the University of Virginia, and the Utah libraries. It also contains most, if not all, of the problems from Union College, The College of New Jersey, Dartmouth, Ohio State, Northern Arizona University, and Indiana University.
In addition to merging these problem collections into a single collection, WeBWorK provides a different interface to these problems. Problems in the OPL are marked internally with metadata, so instructors can search for problems on the basis of this data. This mechanism is built into WeBWorK's library browser. In particular, one can search hierarchically by course, chapter, or section. To a limited extent, problems have been indexed against textbook sections; therefore, instructors can also search for problems on that basis. WeBWorK stores this information in a database, so part of the installation involves loading metadata into the database.
For more information on downloading, installing, browsing and contributing to the OPL, See: Open Problem Library
File Based Problem Libraries
These libraries consist of a directory tree organized roughly by the chapters of a canonical calculus book (or in some cases a canonical text for another subject). There is no database index of tagged metadata. One should regard the material in these libraries as legacy material since we are in the process of adding metadata (tagging the problem), checking the problems for errors and duplicates and folding them into the OPL.
- The "(CVS)" links for each library allow you to inspect the contents of the library over the web.
- See CVS Access to Problem Libraries for instructions on downloading the contents of these libraries via CVS.
- You can find tarballs of each libraries at http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/librarytarballs.
Arizona State University Math Problem Library
This problem library is now empty. All of the problems have been moved into the Open Problem Library.
The College of New Jersey Math Problem Library
The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) makes a large number of linear algebra
problems available in this collection. Please send links of any problems that don't
work to Tom Hagedorn, hagedorn at tcnj.edu.
(CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/tcnj co tcnj_problib
Dartmouth College Library
This library has problems compatible with the Marsden and Tromba multi-dimensional calculus book. It also has problems compatible with the later chapters in Stewart's calculus book. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/dartmouth co dartmouth_problib
Detroit County Day School Math Problem Library (High School)
These high school and pre-calculus level problems were written by Mark Schmidt at Detroit Country Day School. Send corrections to gage at math.rochester.edu or to M.Schmitt at dcds.edu. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/dcds co dcds_problib
Indiana University Math Problem Library
No description. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/indiana co indiana_problib
Northern Arizona University Library
The Northern Arizona University Library has new problems for graph theory, statistics and pre-calculus. The setExamples set cleans up some of the problems
in Rochester Library's setMAAtutorial set and adds several more.
Send corrections to Nandor.Sieben at nau.edu. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/nau co nau_problib
Union College Math Problem Library
The Union College Math Problem Library should now be fully funcitonal. A few of the problems may not work as advertised, since they may have trouble finding the links to auxiliary materials, such as external graphs.
Davide Cervones and Kathryn Leash are principally responsible for designing these problems. The level set and 3d problems are particularly nice!!
Please send links of any problems that don't work to gage at math.rochester.edu or dpvc at union.edu or, better yet, enter them into the WeBWorK bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/union co union_problib
UC Santa Barbara and Brooks/Cole
Problems inspired by Stewart's Calculus book. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/ucsb co ucsb_problib
University of Georgia Math Problem Library
WeBWorK mathematics homework problems created at the University of Georgia. Send corrections to Ted Ashton (ashted at math.uga.edu) or, even better, enter them into bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page. (CVS)
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/uga co uga_problib
University of Michigan Math Problem Library
This library contains problems related to the Hughes-Hallet et.al. Harvard Calculus text. Send corrections to Gavin Larose, glarose at umich.edu, or even better enter them into the WeBWorK bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page. (CVS)
Note, however, that in the File-based library there are also files for the University of Michigan Gateway Tests, which are not currently incorporated into the NPL.
To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/umich co umich_problib
University of Rochester Math Problem Library
The Rochester Math Problem Library should now be fully functional. A few of the problems may not work as advertised, since they may have trouble finding the links to auxiliary materials, such as external graphs. Please send links of any problems that don't work to gage at math.rochester.edu or even better enter them into the WeBWorK bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page. (CVS)

To check out this library:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/rochester co rochester_problib
University of Rochester Physics Problem Library
These physics problems were originally written in CAPA and mechanically translated into the PG language. Thanks to help from Frank Wolfs the .eps file pictures now display properly. (CVS)

University of Rochester Grade 8 Math Problems
These problems, written largly by Tori Sweetser, contain material at the level of
the New York State 8th grade exams. Many of these problems are written using the multiple choice and matching tools. Send corrections to gage at math.rochester.edu. (CVS)
