TeX and Projects


TeX: There are many varieties of TeX. The preferred one for mathematics seems to be LaTeX, together with the AMS extensions -- AMS LaTeX. You will probably want to load a version of TeX onto your personal computer:

* TeX for the Macintosh
o Everything you need is contained in the MacTeX Distribution --

Start here


* TeX for Windows
o Everything you need is contained in the proTeXt - MiKTeX Distribution -- after you click here, click on the "download the self-extracting image" link.


* TeX for Unix/Linux
o If you use a Unix/Linux system, it is very likely that TeX is already installed. Try executing `which tex' or 'which latex' at the command line to check.
o If you setup your own Linux system, you probably know all about TeX already.

All the resources listed above are free. But, you will have to read the instructions on the various web pages to get a smoothly functioning installation on your home computer. If you do not have a computer of your own or do not have internet access, MikTeX and WinShell are installed on the computers in the undergraduate lounge, to which you all have access.

Projects: A requirement of the course is that you submit a 3-5 page writeup of your presentation in the mathematical typesetting language TeX. Below is a link to a short template which you can use to get started. (Please don't try to do anything funny like changing to a larger font, or widening the margins, ... to make your writeup look longer than it is.) Your presentation writeup is due one week after your in class presentation.
