Method for Numerically Measuring Mathematical Fitness

摘要

A method for measuring the mathematical fitness of a plurality of user accounts. The method includes prompting an arbitrary account from the user accounts to solve a mathematical problem through a corresponding personal computing (PC) device. After receiving answering data, an external server compares the answering data against each of a plurality of solutions to identify a matching solution. Throughout this method, the external server monitors the PC device and measures a performance score, a persistence score, and records a user solving procedure. The user solving procedure is then compared to a usage frequency data for a plurality of known solving procedures in order to measure a creativity score. The arbitrary account can then view the performance score, the persistence score, and the creativity score in the form of a performance portfolio for the mathematical problem. This is repeated for each user account for a plurality of mathematical problems.

1. A method for numerically measuring mathematical fitness comprises the steps of:
(A) providing a plurality of user accounts, wherein each of the user accounts is associated to a corresponding personal computing (PC) device; (B) providing a plurality of solutions associated to a mathematical problem, wherein the solutions and the mathematical problem are stored on an external server; (C) providing usage frequency data for a plurality of known solving procedures, wherein the usage frequency data is stored on the external server; (D) prompting an arbitrary account from the plurality of user accounts to solve the mathematical problem through the corresponding PC device; (E) receiving answering data for the arbitrary account through the corresponding PC device; (F) comparing the answering data against each of the plurality of solutions with the external server in order to identify a matching solution amongst the plurality of solutions; (G) monitoring steps (D) and (E) with the external server in order to measure a performance score and a persistence score for the arbitrary account and in order to record a user solving procedure for the arbitrary account; (H) comparing the user solving procedure of the arbitrary account to the usage frequency data with the external server in order to measure a creativity score for the arbitrary account; and (I) enabling the arbitrary account to view a performance portfolio through PC device, wherein the performance portfolio includes the accuracy score, the persistence score, and the creativity score.
