The Formulas question type aims to be generic so that various type of non-trivial questions can be created easily. The variable system and answer boxes allow great flexibility to define question and simplify the job of making complex questions.
The answer fields can be placed anywhere in the question so that you can create questions involving various answer structures such as coordinate, polynomial, matrix, etc. Other features such as unit checking, and multiple parts are also available. These functionalities can simplify the creation of questions in many fields related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
