Maple T.A. Questions Maple T.A. Questions Feed

Hi,

I'm trying to have students solve a simple fraction problem like  $a - ($b + $c)  /   ($d - $e), where each letter is a programmed variable and where $d, $e and its difference do not give zero.  The answer could be either a fraction, or an integer (if the fraction can be simplified).  If I use the Maple-graded type of question, this is possible, but the student can also write the initial fraction problem and get a good mark for it ! ...

I decided to convert an old LR question to Maple 15 syntax and update my Maple T.A. questions. I have it working in Maple, but in MTA I get an error: "java.io.IOException: Maple computation error", I've eliminated lines until I found out the error is when I use Fit to solve for the equation. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Stephen

I define 8 x values, and calculate 8 y values with random residuals. Then I solve using least squares.

$x1=180;

I've made exam questions for students that they have to answer by doing some calculations in Maple.

I would like to let them copy the commands they used to a Maple TA text field.

However, the standard worksheet in our computer lab uses 2-D math. Copying this 2-D math to Maple TA works fine with "paste as plain text", but copying 1-D math also works with ctrl-v in Maple TA, which is more convenient for students under stress.

Since I am not allowed change...

Consider a "toy system" of floating-point arithmetic where each floating-point numberis of the form
x = (-1)^s × (1 + m) × 2^e-σ:

The mantissa is a binary number such that
m = 0:m₁m₂m₃ (base 2) belongs to [0; 1)

and the exponent e is a binary integer such that
1 ≤ e = e₃e₂e₁e₀ (base 2) ≤ 14:

Each m

Hi!

Can anyone help me to write code that validates an answer to a equation of the sort a*x^2=cx.

There will be two solutions to the given equation and I don't know how to write it so it takes in and separates the two answers from the student and validates them.

Best

This should be astonishingly simple as a MapleGraded question but it stubbornly refuses to agree with me.  Everything is marked incorrect ... one wishes for some feedback from MapleTA as to what is going on.

Student enters a vector.  The goal is to have the dot product with <5,3,1> to be whatever value is chosen for $p, which is in the $ANSWER field:

$m:=<5,3,1>;
$d:=LinearAlgebra:-DotProduct($m,$RESPONSE);
is(($d-$p)=0);

We have MapleTA installed on our own server and would like to edit the Login page so that students realize they are on OUR MapleTA page ... students are not particularly observant (no, really!) and often try to login at any MapleTA site they find on the internet.  There is nothing in the UserGuide on editing either the Login or Class pages.

Thanks!

Hello.

After using many versions of TA over many years on our own servers, we are considering paying for Maplesoft to host TA. Can anyone offer any experience of using TA hosted on Maplesoft servers? We can think of many good reasons to change but are there any downsides? Is remoteness a problem, speed of access? We have a fairly typical university central computing service dept.

I understand that the way the hosting system works is that more than one server...

1.I have been using TA for some years but we have only recently moved from version 4 to version 6. In versions up to version 5, when a question was edited there was a two stage saving process ie. the question was saved and the question bank was saved. Only after these two saves did assignements containing the question reflect the edits in the question. I have an assignment which depends on a question in TA6 and I have edited saved the question. The assignment does not reflect...

Please explain details of the fmt string in the mapleta function numfmt.  The help page only says

Returns the value of x, formatted according to the template fmt.

 For example,

 numfmt("#.00", 20.9)

I have a mapleTA question that blocks students from starting a mastery assignment until I tell them how to do the problem. But some students are gaming it but finding out the problem from an earlier section. I want to game back by making the answer change depending on the wall clock, that is the section they are in. To do so, I need a clock function to tell the time. Since I can call maple inside mapleTA, a maple solution will also work.

My school deployed the application for examination purposes, got this app installed on a server and deployed. but question is this

1. when a student logs in with his or her id and click on the assignment link from a client system connected to the server and start attempting the assignment, at a time the question will stop responding, responding in the sense that one will not be able to next or back the question. and if such student close the assignment page and logs...

Question: (how to do this)

Write a procedure that takes as input a lowercase text string and returns a list 26 integers.
the fist entry is a count of the number of letter 'a's,the second the number of lette 'b's ,.... , the 26th the numberof letter 'z'.


Thank you 

I would like to know how to find an extreme (max) point of function of two variables:

Hello,

it's my first utilisation of MAPLE, and I want to determine the max of a function y(x). I have this differentiel equation with 2 variables :

a*diff(y(x),x,x) + b*(diff(y(x),x)-diff(z(x),x)) + c*diff(y(x),x) + d*y(x) + e*(y(x)-z(x))= 0;

I resolve it whith the function "dsolve", and now and I want to calculat the max of the function y(x).

can any body help me ??!!!

thanks
