Help for Problem Set Page
- Get Problem: After selecting a problem, clicking this button will display the problem on your screen. You can then submit your answers or, if it is after the answer date, view the answers. If a solution is available, this can also be viewed.
- Mode: Select "text", "formatted-text" or "typeset" Mode. Typeset Mode will display mathematical symbols (e.g. square root signs) and formulas in a standard easily read format. Text Mode displays mathematical symbols and formulas in a special markup language called TeX. Formatted-text Mode is a middle ground which tries to typeset mathematical formulas using ascii characters. If you are having difficulty viewing a problem in Typeset Mode, try viewing it in Formatted-text or Text Mode. If you have downloaded a paper version of the assignment, you do not need to see the Typeset version on your screen.
- Problem Sets: Clicking this button returns you to the page listing all the problem sets.
- Problem Status: The status is either Correct, Incorrect, or blank (not attempted). If you do a problem correctly once, it's status will always be Correct even if you later do the problem again incorrectly.
