We would like to use online testing to administer math tests, but in order to do so, we would need to have Populi support Mathematic functions.

  Could you give us an example of what you need to do that you can't?

  Hey Adam, I second this. I would like to be able to add fractions, exponents, and more. But exponents and fractions will be able to suffice for what we need currently. Ultimately, it would be nice to have something like Microsoft Equation editor within Microsoft word.

  @Josiah - We recommend using something like http://www.hostmath.com or http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php to generate an image you can embed in a test question.

  At times, we need an image like this in the answer choices. This would be something very beneficial. Is this possible?

  That would be cool. For now, perhaps you could include e.g. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. as part of the question image and make e.g. "Figure 1" etc your answers options?

  Okay, so input one image that has both the question and answer options? That would work for now.

  That's what I'd do.
