Overview of Problem Libraries
Contents
National Problem Library (NPL)
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 meta-data.
It is envisioned that the material in these libraries will eventually be given meta-data,checked for errors and duplicates and folded into the NPL.
The CVS links allow you to inspect the question collections from the web.
See CvsProblemLibraryInstructions for instructions on downloading the contents of these libraries via CVS.
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/tcnj co tcnj_problib
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@tcnj.edu.
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/dartmouth co dartmouth_problib
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.http://cvs.webwork.rochester.edu/viewcvs.cgi/dartmouth_problib/?cvsroot=Dartmouth+College
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/dcds co dcds_problib
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 -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/indiana co indiana_problib
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/nau co nau_problib
The Northern Arizona University Library has new problems for graph theory,
for statistics and for pre-calculus. The setExamples cleans up some of the problems
in Rochester Library's setMAAtutorial and adds several more.
Send corrections to Nandor.Sieben@NAU.EDU.
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/union co union_problib
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 even better
enter them into bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page.
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/ucsb co ucsb_problib
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/uga co uga_problib
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/umich co umich_problib
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 bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page.
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 -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/rochester co rochester_problib
The Rochester 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.
Please send links of any problems that don't work to gage at math.rochester.edu
or even better enter them into bugzilla via the "report problem bugs" on the PG editor page.
The Rochester library includes many problems prepared by Zbigniew Fiedorowicz at Ohio State University as well as a large number of problems prepared by Jun Wang at Alabama State University
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/rochester co rochester_physics_problib
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 -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.webwork.rochester.edu:/webwork/cvs/rochester co rochester_grade8problems
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@math.rochester.edu
