Problem set generator#

API to generate random problem sets by subject. WIP for now.

Format#

GET request that will return a application/pdf, with generated questions, and page of answers.

Path would be https://$url/<Subject>/<Theme>/<Option<Pages>>

• Subject being Math or Physics,
• Theme breakdown by subject, representing a single chapter in Mechanics by taylor or Multivariable Calculus by Stewart.
• Pages optional how many pages you would like, default being 1.
• On error, a string with api documentation would be returned? (openapi generated docs would be nice)

Goals#

• Create handler function to extract problem request parameters
• Write a question bank by chapter (separate functions to build questions on startup)
• Write question text parser,
• Write a number generator for questions ( variables encoded in question text with {{ }} potentially?)
• Port axum to run on shuttle.dev
• Write a front-end page with a basic form that would open a new tab with the pdf requested on my website

Questions#

Questions are represented by a struct with it's subject, theme, text of the questions, array of min/max values for varibales, and the closure expression for the answer.

Since there is an impl Fn for now the questions cant really be static so need to be created with a function during runtime.

Fonts#

I am not sure about distributing Roboto font for now, please add I read the license yes I can, the Roboto font is under the Open Font License.

In the fonts folder, please find the following ttf files:

• Roboto-Bold.ttf
• Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
• Roboto-Italic.ttf
• Roboto-Regular.ttf

If you wish to change the font, you will have to provide Bold, BoldItalic, Italic,and Regular ttf files of the font you'd like to use.
