Hello all..

This might be a really dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway..

Where are the problem templates for WebWork? I haven't been able to find them anywhere on this site.. Doug

Hi Doug,

Your original question asked about templates for WeBWorK 1.9 so here's the answer to that. See below for WeBWorK 2.

WeBWorK 1.9 is pretty old at this point so you should really think about installing WW 2. That being said, I'm not certain what you mean by the "template files". I assume you mean the the .pg files (which are "templates" of the WeBWorK problems and go in (or are linked under) the templates directory. The original distribution of problems (again pretty dated but functional) that went with WW 1.9 is http://webwork.rochester.edu/tarfiles/templates_1.9_05-July-27-2004.tar.gz

Almost all current problems should work with WW 1.9 (the exception are problems that take advantage of the new WW 2 parser)

A more recent version of the Rochester library is http://webwork.rochester.edu/tarfiles/rochester_problib.tar.gz

With WW 2 you have access to the national problem library (over 12,000 problems plus the current Rochester library and other libraries). WW 2 also has a Library Browser which gives a web interface for searching and selecting problems.

Sincerely,

Arnie

As a side note, you can get the Parser-based problems to work under WeBWorK version 1 as well. There are instructions at
