Course Procedures

LaTex Resources:
To install LaTeX on Windows, first download MikTex (the "small MikTex installer" should be fine), and then download WinEdt.
Or if you want a free version try one of these or MonkeyTex or TexLive .
For Macintosh, use MacTex or TexShop.
A sample LaTex document written by me. This should have examples of most things that you'd like to know how to do.
