IMathAS is an Internet Mathematics Assessment System. It is primarily a web-based math assessment tool for delivery and automatic grading of math homework and tests. Questions are algorithmically generated and numerical and math expression answers can be computer graded. Beyond that, IMathAS includes learning management tools, including posting of announcements, text files, and attachments, as well as discussion forums and a full gradebook. In postings and assessments, IMathAS allows accurate display of math and graphs, with simple calculator-style math entry and point-and-click graph creation. It is most similar to (and inspired by) WebWork and WIMS, and similar to commercial and publisher-produced systems like iLrn, MathXL, WebAssign, etc.
IMathAS was written by David Lippman (c) 2006-2008, with with partial support from the WA State E-Learning Council, the Transition Math Project, and Pierce College. It is distributed under the GPL. See the license.txt file distributed with IMathAS for more details and credits for components attributed to others.
