Interested in typing up your homework?

  • Here is a place to get started! (Thanks to Patrick Dragon for finding these resources!)
  • Getting started with LaTeX:
    1. Download an editor. Favorites include TeXShop and TeXworks. If you are running Mac OS, I recommend checking out MacTeX, which includes both TeXShop and TeXworks.
    2. Read a great LaTeX introduction, courtesy of UCONN's John Pawlina, or try a popular not-so-short guide.
    3. Marvel at your awesomeness.
  • Trouble finding the right LaTeX symbol? Here is a site that will attempt to find it for you: Detexify².

The rewritten assignment is due the following class period after the homework has been returned. Late submissions will not be accepted.
