It goes without saying that you should anticipate the material to be covered and read the relevant sections of the text before class. It goes even more without saying that you should read the text that pertains to the exercises before attempting them. All assignments must be typeset in LaTex with the problems in order and organized by section. (Exception: you may submit up to two neatly handwritten assignments, in order to give you some time to learn Latex or help you out in a pinch.)

This is in many ways a harder but better text. I have it on reserve at Booth Library. Latex References: Tex Users Group (TUG): Extensive information on all aspects of Tex, including applications and installation on various platforms, additional packages, etc. Guide to Latex, by Helmut Kopka and Patrick Daly, 4th edition. An excellent overall guide to typesetting and managing documents. Even better, you can use a searchable copy on-line for free using the link provided. More Math into Latex, by George Gratzer, 4th edition. Another excellent and very readable general guide, and this one you can download for free using the link provided! I also have a copy of an older edition in my office, which you are welcome to borrow for short periods as needed. Introduction to Latex: A slide presentation by Drs. Broline, Mertz, and Slough of the EIU Math & Computer Science Department, which gives a nice quick overview. |
