What is Using APL to build science tutors for the high school level about?

This paper describes the procedure used to build several courses on the sciences for the high school level. An APL2 program has been written that accepts problem models, including explanation models, and uses them to generate many different probhms. Each course is provided with about one hundred problem modds, from which the student is invited to solve many thousands of different actual problems. The unique features of APL2 have made it very simple to develop the program that supports the courses. Versions exist for both DO5 and Windows. program proposes a given lesson, the models are used to generate problems. The definition of each problem model contains random variables, which receive a different value whenever the problem model is used. In this way, a single problem model may give rise to several different actual problems (up to several thousands, in some cases), so that the probability of the same student being invited to solve the same problem again is small. The following is an example of a problem proposed by the lowest level course on Mathematics: Permission to make digilsl or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is wanted without fee provi
