Question asks student to find zeros of a quadratic equation - disguised as finding time for particle to reach a given position. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance. Coefficients of the quadratic are randomly chosen within linits which give one positive and one negative root.

This uses an embedded Geogebra graph of a polar function with random coefficients set by NUMBAS.

The first question from the Numbas tutorial, extended a bit.

Question asks students to find the time taken for an object thrown vertically upward from a platform to reach the ground. Set up randomly chooses environment to be on Earth, Mars or the Moon and uses appropriate acceleration due to gravity. The initial velocity of the body and height of the platform above the ground are randomly selected. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance.

This shows one way of laying out matrix cells in a table, so that some cells can be filled in by the student.

At the time this was written, there's an open issue for allowing some entries in the matrix entry part to be filled-in, which would make this technique redundant.

Some CSS in the preamble adds the brackets around the table - it has to have the attribute class="matrix-gaps"

DIAGNOSYS is a knowledge-based test of mathematics background knowledge for first-year university students, created by John Appleby at Newcastle University.

The questions have been translated directly into Numbas, with as few changes as possible.

A collection of information and activities to introduce students to Numbas. There is some information on how Numbas works, information on how to write answers to mathematical expression and number entry parts, and a "test yourself" explore mode activity.

Note: This exam was written for students accessing Numbas exams through the Numbas LTI tool. Some of the information does not apply to exams accessed standalone or through a generic SCORM player.

This question is the one described in method 2 of the example "Apply a standard integral" in the Numbas documentation.

The student is shown a randomly chosen function to integrate. The function is one of $e^{kx}$, $x^k$, $\cos(kx)$, $\sin(kx)$, with $k$ a randomly chosen integer.

A demo of the main new features in Numbas v5: explore mode, alternative answers and "Choose from a menu" question navigation.

All the answers in this question are equations. In order to mark each equation, Numbas needs to pick some values that satisfy the equation and some that don't, and check that the student's answer agrees with the expected answer.

Any equation with the same solution set as the expected answer will be marked correct.

A demo of how custom marking algorithms can be used to replace the built-in marking methods.
