Latex Resources
- Homework solution must be typed
via LaTeX.
LaTeX is the standard for typesetting scientific papers, and will
likely come in handy outside CIS 4930.
- Homework template: Here's
a Latex template (sample.tex)
for typesetting homework and the pdf file (sample.pdf)
that it produces. The
file needs an image file mapping.pdf.
- Guides to using LaTeX:
An introduction to LaTeX can be found here.
Another guide can be found at Wikibooks.
- Online Environments:
If you don't want to install LaTeX, ShareLaTeX and Overleaf are
online environments which compile previews of your LaTeX documents as
you type.
- LaTeX Editors: There
are many LaTeX editors which allow you to use GUI to edit your LaTeX. LyX is a free one.
- Finding symbols: Detexify
lets you draw the symbol that you are looking for and get LaTeX code. A
static guide is
here.
