WeBWorK
WeBWorK is an open-source online homework system for math and sciences courses. Instructors can use WeBWork to draw on large libraries of questions, assign homework, and know that students are receiving immediate feedback. WeBWorK is supported by the MAA and the NSF and comes with a National Problem Library (NPL) of over 20,000 homework problems. Problems in the NPL target most lower-division undergraduate math courses and some advanced courses. Supported courses include college algebra, discrete mathematics, probability and statistics, single and multivariable calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and complex analysis.
