Learn to use MathObjects when authoring questions

• Introduction to MathObjects
• Presentations on MathObjects -- overview of MathObject features and commands given by Davide Cervone
• Index of Problem Techniques -- many of these illustrate MathObject features
• Subject Area Templates -- many of these use MathObjects
• 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 (list)
  • Modifying contexts (advanced)
  • Context flags
• MathObject extensions
  • 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.
