Moodle Algebra is Now On!
by Albert Crosby - Friday, January 16, 2009, 04:56 PM
 

Special for our math teachers...  You should be able to use algebra markup in our Moodle to make things like:

y=\frac{\left(x+2\right)^{2}}{3 x} or \cosh^{2}\left(x\right)-\sinh^{2}\left(x\right)=1

Look in the Moodle docs for Algebra filter for some information about it.  Also see Moodle Equation Samples.

The LaTeX filter is now turned on too, so you can actually do things a bit more complex:

\frac{success}{problem}=~\unitlength{.6}~\picture(100){~~(50,50){\circle(99)}~ ~(20,55;50,0;2){+1$\hat\bullet}~~(50,40){\bullet}~~(50,35){\circle(50,25;34)}~ ~(50,35){\circle(50,45;34)}} or \Delta =\sum_{i=1}^N w_i (x_i - \bar{x})^2

Here's some more examples I've tried:

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} and \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\begin{array}z = a\\f(x,y,z) = x + y + z \end{array}

You can also use it for things besides math formulas:

3 \frac{3}{4} tbsp. Margarine

1 \frac{1}{2} cu. Milk

1\frac{1}{2} tsp. Cummin

x+\!y
