Learn to use MathObjects when authoring questions

• Introduction to MathObjects
• Presentations on MathObjects overview of MathObject features and commands given by Davide Cervone
• Older but detailed references for MathObjects and MathObjects answer checkers from POD documentation:
  • UsingMathObjects (introduction)
  • MathObjects-based Answer Checkers (introduction)

Advanced MathObject topics

• Contexts
  • Introduction to contexts
  • Specialized contexts
  • Modifying contexts (advanced)
  • Context flags
• Parser modifications
  • Specialized parsers
• PGLabs On-line labs for rendering of PG code.
  • These labs allow you to experiment online with writing fragments of questions using MathObjects, PGML and PG syntax.

• POD -- (Plain old documentation). Documentation (for both MathObjects and other macros) that is written in the file containing the source code by the programmers. It usually the most complete and most up-to-date reference.

Other useful pages

• MathObjects reference table (Quick reference for MathObject types and features)
• List of MathObjects reduction rules (reference rules for "simplifying" forumulae)
• Customizing Answer checkers
  • answerHints - allows you to customize hints to particular wrong answers
  • answerCustom - an easy method for creating an answer checker with a custom subroutine that performs the check for correctness of an answer.
