That is strange. It generates errors for the examples in the documantation also. However, it does generate the correct script. Go ahead and download it, then upload it to Maple TA. The tex I used is:

\documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{ed} \begin{document} \begin{topic}{Topic} \begin{question}{Maple} \qutext{What is the equation for the unit circle?} \maple*{verify($RESPONSE, x^2+y^2=1, 'relation')} \end{question} \end{topic} \end{document}

and the script I got was:

qu.1.topic=Topic@ qu.1.1.mode=Maple@ qu.1.1.question=<p class="noindent">What is the equation for the unit circle?</p>@ qu.1.1.maple=verify($RESPONSE, x^2+y^2=1, 'relation')@ qu.1.1.info=@ qu.1.1.type=maple@

The response variable should be all caps "$RESPONSE" (I did not check before). Also, the question is not graded correct with "type=formula", so I left it as the default, "type=maple".

The equation environment requires that the answer be a function: "NOTE. One side of the correct given answer must be in the form of a single variable only (such as y=... or ...=z). However, the student's response does not have this limitation - any equivalent equation will be graded as correct." For a workaround, you can use a maple-graded question. The command you will probably want to use is verify[relation]. Your code would be something like: \begin{question}{Maple} \qutext{Question} \type{formula} \maple*{verify($Response, x^2 + y^2 = 1, 'relation')} \end{question}
