Math Question Templates Using Php And Latex

April 23rd, 2011 Comments off

We are creating an assessment engine that can automatically generate math questions based on certain criteria. We need someone with PHP and latex knowledge to help create several math templated questions. Each question must be coded so that many variations of the question are possible.

The questions are all coded in PHP. The developer will have access to a test site so he/she can upload the template stub to verify if the question works and how it lays out. When it appears to work, it can be sent to me to be finalized.

The latex is used for simple fractions and more complex mathematical equations. Additionally understanding Tikx/PGF is useful for more complex drawings.

We have a group of 10 templates than need to be completed. A simplistic sample of an example question and the general class is attached. I have many more examples for the selected candidate. The questions are all grades 1-10 math content.

We will pay on a per template basis with a potential of a couple hundred templates to be created. A simple sample of an example question and the general class is attached. I have many more examples for the selected candidate. My goal is to use a small group of people that work together to produce 5-6 templates per day. Some questions will certainly be slower. The questions are all grades 1-10 math content.

Texpoint In Powerpoint

June 3rd, 2009 Comments off

I have Texpoint installed as an add-in for PowerPoint and it’s not displaying the fractions. If I insert frac{1}{2} I get the error message: “Error macro not defined. At /frac” when I click on Texify. Please tell me how to get the fraction displayed. Name your price. Please email or call at 646-736-7455.

I just read in a blog that inline mode (limited LaTeX) doesn’t work for fractions and that you have to use full LATeX (display mode?) to produce fractions in which case I need someone to show me how to use display (I think) mode.

To use display mode I choose “New TeX Display” (ALT-X-D) from the TexPoint Menu which invokes a pop-up text editor. When I type my frac{1}{2} into the editor, I press “Make Display” and I get the following error message: “Tex2Bmp Error while running latex. Press Cancel or Finish Later to exit to PowerPoint.
I pay via Paypal or if you don’t have an account, I can mail you a check.

I’m pretty sure now that I just have to use display mode to display a fraction but I am getting an error when I try to use display mode.
