Abstract (EN): AGILMAT is a web application designed to help students learn Mathematics, with focus on high-school algebra and calculus drills. A modular and extensible architecture and a wizard-based configuration interface decoupled from the system core are major design features of AGILMAT. The drill expressions are specified by grammars and constraints imposed by default profiles and user options, so that AGILMAT may support distinct learning levels and stages. The core system uses symbolic manipulation and automated reasoning to provide correct answers for the drills. The paper shows how AGILMAT may be used to create and customize drills automatically.
