System for Teaching, and Assessment using a Computer algebra Kernel

This is a project to develop a mathematical computer aided assessment system, which relies on computer algebra to perform the evaluation of expressions entered by a student. This is is based heavily on the AiM system, the major differences being that

• The open source CAS Maxima is used, and the use of other CAS systems is possible.
• The main scripts are written in PHP, with a minimal use of CAS.
• The database support uses MySQL.

A demonstration server is available elsewhere.

This project is part of the serving maths project.
