Using Database of Calculus Problems in Teaching of University Level Mathematics

We have created in our university material management environment, which uses database created by using LATEX-files, and LATEX2HTML translator and PHP language. In this paper we will define how these LATEX-files are transformed into our database. In this paper, we present work which we have done for providing the material used in the teaching of calculus to students at Lappeenranta University of Technology. This procedure can be divided into three separate steps: 1) creation of the LATEX-files, 2) implementation of these LATEX-files in 3) conversion of the base LATEX-files to the HTML-files. So far, we have stored hundreds of exercises with hints and solutions on our web server in addition to some theory that we felt is necessary for the students. In this paper we will also discuss the benefits and future of our functioning Web-environment [1].
