MEGUA PACKAGE FOR PARAMETERIZED EXERCISES

Parameterized study problems in mathematics is an old idea that offers advantages such as having more samples of a type of problem and different versions for different students. Having such problems in a digital format, leads to the organization in databases for posterior use which is another important issue saving time that teachers spend preparing the material. Sage Mathematics is a quite recent free open-source mathematics software system that uses Python language with small modifications in operators and few mathematical types in a way that is more suitable to describe expressions of mathematical content. Inspired by the new system the authors present MEGUA, a package for Sage, that helps the authoring of parameterized problems databases written on LaTeX and Python/Sage language.
