The goal of this package is to facilitate the creation of problem assignments for a group of students. It allows to randomize the assignments in two ways:
-
random selection of problems from a set, and
-
random variations of the specified parts of an individual problem's statement.
Those two kinds of randomization may be combined.
A problem set consists of several problem templates. Each template may hold the textual statement of the problem, its solution and fragments of Julia code to vary the values of placeholder variables within the statement and the solution.
The package exports macros @problem and @problemset that create a template and a set,
respectively. Function problemset_latex() generates the latex sources of
assignments and their solutions. To ensure reproducibility, it calls Random.seed!()
with an incremental value before generating each succesive problem.
