Questions to test if the student knows the inverse of fractional power or root (and how to solve equations that contain them). 

Basically expand an expression like "5y(-2z+3)" where the student types answer into a single gap.

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.

Practice factorising different types of quadratics. Repeat as many times as you want.

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.

Using basic derivatives to calculate the gradient function of a hill $y=-e^x+b\ln\left(x\right)+c$, and then substituting values to find the gradient at specific distance from the sea. 

Given a graph of the form either a.cos(bx) or a.sin(bx), identify the amplitude and period.

Choosing whether given random variables are qualitative or quantitative.

A normal curve is shown, with the mean and +/- 1, 2 and 3 standard deviations marked. An area of the curve is shaded and students are asked to estimate the shaded area using the heuristic rule. There are 6 possible areas: (-infty, mu-2sd), (mu-2sd, mu-1sd), (mu-1sd,mu), (mu, mu+1sd), (mu+1sd, mu+2sd), (mu+2sd, infty). The mean and standard deviation are randomised.

Find the stationary points of the function: $f(x,y)=a x ^ 3 + b x ^ 2 y + c y ^ 2 x + dy$ by choosing from a list of points.

The student has to enter `diff(y,x,2)`, equivalent to $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2}$, as their answer. It's marked by pattern matching, using a custom marking algorithm.

Given a 3 x 3 matrix, and two eigenvectors find their corresponding eigenvalues. Also fnd the characteristic polynomial and using this find the third eigenvalue and a normalised eigenvector $(x=1)$.

Example of an explore mode question. Student is given a 3x3 matrix and is asked to find the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues, and then eigenvectors for each eigenvalue. The part asking for eigenvectors can be repeated as often as the student wants, to be used for different eigenvalues.

Assessed: calculating characteristic polynomial and eigenvectors.

Feature: any correct eigenvalue will be recognised by the marking algorithm, even multiples of the obvious one(s) (which can be read off from the reduced row echelon form)

Randomisation: Not randomised, just using particular matrices. I am still working on how to randomise this for 3x3; a randomised 2x2 version exists. I have several different versions for 3x3 (not all published yet), so I could make a random choice between these in a test.

The implementation uses linear algebra functions such as "find reduced echelon form" or "find kernel of a reduced echelon form", from the extension "linalg2".

Solving a system of simultaneous congruences using the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

An explore mode question which allows you to write a solution straight away, or break it down into steps.

After solving a system of three congruences, you can ask for a new problem with more congruences.
