Mathematics is a crucial component of programmes on engineering, science and technology. In the context of computerised distance learning education, the subject of engineering mathematics is often delivered and assessed through a digital learning environment. This paper gives an overview of the history of distance learning education and its mathematics component. It also discusses the most popular online automated technologies applied to the assessment and evaluation of engineering mathematics including problems of the on-line representation of mathematical graphs and equations in the assessment material.
