Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delay. Just to document other resources people might find
useful:
VCU domain:
/res/vcu/jmsullivan/physics
Several hundred physics problems appropriate for algebra-based,
calculus-based, and tech physics courses.
/res/vcu/jmsullivan/conceptual_physics
Several hundred conceptual physics problems that have been adapted from
Robert Gowdy's Foundations of Physics course at VCU. I'm still working on
some of them as time permits, but a large majority of them are ready for
use. I use them quite extensively to teach Conceptual Physics (following the
Hewitt text).
/res/vcu/jmsullivan/math
Several hundred algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and technical math problems
spanning a range of course levels from introductory algebra (algebra I),
intermediate algebra (algebra II), technical math, and college algebra.
All of the above problems are published for system wide use. In addition,
ALL of these problems are published OPEN-SOURCE so that anyone can use,
modify, etc. these problems. I always find it frustrating to find a great
problem in loncapa that someone else authored and I can't "look under the
hood" to see how it is coded.......... (stealth rant)
Best,
Jay
