Aplicación Android Para Autoevaluar Conocimientos
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya Ingenier´ıa Tecnica´ de Telecomunicacion´ Especialidad de Telematica´ Trabajo Final de Carrera AplicaciónAndroid para autoevaluar conocimientos Autor: Tutor: David Chiner Benjuya Manel Llopart Vidal 14 de junio de 2013 Resumen En el presente trabajo de final de carrera se ha desarrollado una aplicacióndidácticapara que los estudiantes evalúeny ampl´ıensus conocimientos. Dicha aplicacióndispone de una interfaz gráficadesde donde cada estudiante puede consultar contenidos teóricosy realizar test de evaluación. En concreto, tras completar cada test, el estudiante repasa sus errores y recibe explicaciones sobre las respuestas correctas. Para desplegar la aplicaciónse ha seleccionado la plataforma Android, un sistema operativo gratuito de enorme difusiónen teléfonosmóviles,tabletas e incluso netbooks. De este modo, la aplicaciónpuede ser ejecutada en dispositivos que el estudiante lleve consigo. Abstract The didactic application developed for this final thesis allows students to evaluate and expand their knowl- edge. This application has a graphical interface where each student can read explanations and perform assess- ment test. Specifically, after completing each test, the student reviews his mistakes and gets explanations of the correct answers. The application has been implemented for Android platform, a free operating system largely deployed in mobile phones, tablets and even netbooks. Thus, the application can be run on devices carried by the student. Resum En el present treball de final de carrera s'ha desenvolupat un aplicaciódidàcticaper a que els estudiants avalu¨ıni ampli¨ınels seus coneixements.

LATEX Is Radical - Part II Slightly Beyond the Basics
LATEX is Radical - Part II Slightly beyond the basics. Version 1.1 David Goulette April, 23 2014 Contents 1 Before you begin reading...1 2 Indroduction 2 3 Multiple columns and paper orientation3 4 Adding pictures to your document8 4.1 Picture file types......................................8 4.2 PGF/TikZ.........................................9 4.3 Adding figures with graphicx ............................... 10 4.3.1 Adding pictures in a fixed position........................ 11 4.3.2 Captions and floats................................. 16 5 How to make a bibliography with BiBTEX 21 List of Figures 1 A Mad Tea-Party...................................... 17 2 Alice............................................. 18 3 A circle on the Riemann sphere.............................. 19 4 A figure with subfigures.................................. 20 1 Before you begin reading... Make sure you have downloaded all of the necessary files for compiling this document. If you want to build this .tex file you need the following supplemental files: • IntroToLaTeXpart2-version1.0.tex • IntroToLaTeXpart2-version1.0.pdf • alice.jpg • teaparty.jpg • RiemannSphereCircle.pdf • myreferences.bib 1 All of these files can be found on my website: http://www.sjsu.edu/people/david.goulette/courses/latex/ You need to download all of the above files and save them in the same directory. If you want to build the .tex file it needs to have the three picture files in the same directory to work and also the .bib file with the bibliography references. I explain the details of how you can add pictures to documents in section4. And I explain how to make a bibliography in section5. 2 Indroduction Welcome to the second part of my introduction to LATEX! In this document I will introduce a variety of important LATEX skills that you might not need quite as frequently as those found in part 1, but you will benefit from knowing them.

Online LATEX Last Updated: 13Th May 2012
Online LATEX Last updated: 13th May 2012 A Images................................1 B Complete Documents........................3 C Other sites.............................5 Unfortunately not every host oﬀers LaTeX but there are sites that can help generate the images that can be downloaded. A Images 1. CodeCogs LaTeX Equation Editor. This innovative editor has a symbol table for those who are not sure of the LaTeX code as well as allowing the code to be typed directly. It uses Ajax so that the page does not need to be refreshed to see the rendered image. The source code uses LatexRender. See also this post: CodeCogs Equation Editor. Hamline University Physics Department Latex Equation Editor is based on the same code, with some innovative additions. Editor Online de Ecuaciones Latex is a Spanish version. 2. MimeTeX parses a LaTeX maths expression and immediately emits the corresponding image such as this 3. MathTran is a new project by the Open University that intends to \pro- vide translation of mathematical content, from TeX to MathML and vice-versa, and to graphics formats, as a web service". At the moment only Plain TeX (both text and mathematics) can be converted to an image. MathTran instant preview is a web-based TeX system, complete with a built-in help. It compiles Plain TeX code in real time. The source is available at mathtran-javascript. Enso TeX Anywhere makes use of MathTran to convert TeX to images in some Windows programs. 4. Troy Hendersons LaTeX Previewer makes it clear what is in the preamble when rendering the image and will preview SVG or PNG formats.
