Such notes may involve things of different importance levels, ranging from simple fix the spelling flags to critical this paragraph is a lie mentions.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: rangen Version number: 1.3e Author's name: D. P.

License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The rangen package is a package that generates random integers, rational numbers, and decimal number.

Indeed, that is what you can do with this package: Write a quiz question based on a template (for example, differentiate $a x^{ }$ , where a and are RVs (random variables) generated with rangen), determine if the user input is correct, and display the correct answer to the question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rangen .
