<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt">I am a newbie at Latex and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I want to create a database of math questions that I can use to generate worksheets. My goal is to have 100 possible questions for each topic and choose a few at random each time a worksheet is created. I would also like the option of picking out a specific question for the worksheet. What I have now is several documents with these question written and I cut and paste the code into my worksheet as needed. I would like to automate the process as much as possible. I've heard of R (a spreadsheet or statistical software?) but I don't know anything about it. Could someone tell me what languages/programs I would need and possibly recommend a book or two for learning how to use them?<br><br>If this has already been discussed I'll be happy to read the
thread, but I couldn't figure out how to search the archives. Perhaps someone could suggest a month and year that I could start looking?<br><br><br>Thanks,<br><br><div><div><div><div><div><div>Nicole</div><div> </div><div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgypsy1274"></a> So-called "<span style="BACKGROUND:none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%;BORDER-BOTTOM:rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1229026119_1">global warming</span></span>" is just a secret ploy by wacko tree-huggers to<br>make <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1229026119_2" style="BACKGROUND:none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%;CURSOR:hand;BORDER-BOTTOM:medium none;">America energy independent</span>, clean our air and water, improve the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1229026119_3">fuel<br>efficiency</span> of our vehicles, kick-start 21st-century industries, and make our<br>cities safer and more livable.
