Title of

Problems Corrected by Computer and Available on the Net
Abstract:
The project consists in the elaboration of a series of problems corrected by computer and available on the Net. For the moment, examples come from linear algebra. A learner (not necessarily a student) will be able to solve problems with approaches that aim a clear solution. It consists in defining in details the different steps by subdividing a problem in smaller and simpler ones in order to guide gradually the learner towards the solution. The problems are instantly corrected by computer. Because the answers are written in Maple language, the learner is first introduced to Maple (it could be another language) and gains the basic knowledge of Maple through exercises. The software for an automatic correction requires a ‘random’ generation of data and a dynamical data base allowing the comparison with the answers of the learner and computer.
