Setting up a database of problems with solutions

[BogMonkey]

I was looking for sites with a huge database of different physics and maths problems + solutions which I could use to practice but I couldn't find a site like this. It would be really easy to setup a database and make PHP scripts which would generate random variables for each problem so people could use this site to practice online. With the amount of people on this site it should be easy to find people to contribute and if there's about 50 of us working on it this database would grow huge in no time. I can do all the PHP + MySQL myself and I have a webserver to host it I'd just need a new domain name and need people to put in various formats of problems encountered in physics and maths courses.

By format of problem I mean problems presented differently which often cause confusion. For example in linear motion you get problems involving cars driving down the road, cars braking, Stones being thrown upward etc. They're all solved using the same principles but when they're presented differently sometimes I get confused about how to approach the problem. With a huge database of different questions people could practice just about every possible kind of question they'll come across on a test.

There's all ready a few platforms that try to do this one is something like http://www.lon-capa.org/

I think this is a great idea! Having a database of problems with solutions for physics and maths would be incredibly useful for students and educators alike. It would provide a comprehensive resource for practicing and mastering these subjects, and the ability to generate random variables for each problem would make it even more versatile.

I agree that with the number of people on this site, it should be easy to find contributors who can add a variety of problem formats. This would not only make the database more comprehensive, but also help students become familiar with different ways of presenting problems.

Furthermore, having a database like this would also be beneficial for identifying common areas of confusion for students. By analyzing the types of problems that are frequently encountered and the solutions that are most helpful, educators can better tailor their teaching methods to address these areas.

Overall, setting up a database of problems with solutions would be a valuable resource for students and educators alike. I hope to see this project come to fruition and contribute to its growth in any way I can.
