LaTeX Notes
Using LaTeX for your homework is optional. However, for those of you who wish to try out LaTeX for writing up your homework solutions, or perhaps just for fun, note the following:- For instructions on how to install the same setup that I have (MiKTeX/WinEdt on Windows), read this guide.
- You will need the natepaper package (my own creation, available here), which defines many macro variables used in the homework code. For most LaTeX compilers (like MiKTeX, the compiler I suggest in the document mentioned above), the easiest way to install this package is simply to put it into the same directory as your LaTeX source code. This package, in turn, requires many other packages. However, those other packages are standard ones that will be available on some compilers (such as MiKTeX).
- When you first download the homework LaTeX source code, try to compile it without changing anything. If it doesn't work, then something is wrong with your compiler configuration (i.e., it's not your LaTeX code!). Write to me on the message board if this problem happens.
- Make sure you change my name and email address to yours in line 8 of natepaper.sty. (What does that do? Push Ctrl+D from within Acrobat Reader on your finished document to find out!)
- Play around with the homework files! Note for example that if you change line 5 from \setboolean{solutions}{true} to \setboolean{solutions}{false}, the solutions disappear.
