Solve an ODE by first writing it in canonical form.

Find a second solution to an ODE by first finding the Wronskian.

A quick practice set of problems for education students to take in preparation for their numeracy test.

Quiz covering basic arithmetic with complex numbers, solving a quadratic with complex solutions and converting to/from polar and rectangular forms.

Rounding integers and decimals to a specific number of sig figs.

The student has to write the general solution of a 2nd order PDE. They can choose the names of their arbitrary functions of $x$ and $y$.

The marking algorithm finds the names of the functions of $x$ and $y$ in the student's answer, and replaces them with $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(y)$ (these could be changed) so that the expression can be evaluated.

Example showing how to mark a "choose one from a list" part where the student has to pick the range a given number lies in.

Calculating the derivative of a function of the form $\frac{(x-a)^2}{bx} + c$, finding its stationary points and determining their nature.

In the first part, the student is asked to enter dimensions of a box in a spreadsheet.

The values are extracted as a list of numbers by changing the interpreted_answer note in the first part's marking algorithm, and the calculated volume is used as the answer to the second part, through adaptive marking.

Shows how to use the lpad function to format a time in HH:MM format so that leading zeros are used for numbers less than 10.

A practice test to get used to the NUMBAS environment.

Student is presented with a clock showing a random time (in 15 minute increments) with an idication of whether it is morning or afternoon, along with a scheduled meeting time (in 24 hour mode). Question asks them to calculate difference between times and whether they are early or late.

FoES Electronics Written Assessment

Express $\log_a(x^{c}y^{d})$ in terms of $\log_a(x)$ and $\log_a(y)$. 

The student is asked to enter a given matrix, but they're only required to fill in the upper triangle.

A custom marking algorithm fills in any empty cells in the lower triangle of the student's answer with the corresponding cell in the upper triangle.

The student is still warned if they leave any cells empty in the upper triangle.

This demonstrates how to:

• Generate a fixed number of observations of data in two categories.
• Display the data in a table, with row and column totals.
• Ask the student to enter the data in a spreadsheet which is automatically marked.
