[edit] LaTeX

• How to install LaTeX on Windows:

1. Download and install MiKTeX.
2. Make sure you have Adobe Reader installed.
3. Download and install an editor, such as TeXMaker or TeXnicCenter. Configure the PDFLateX option.

• How to install LaTeX on Linux:

1. Skip Step 1 above: LaTeX should already be installed.
2. Make sure you have Adobe Reader (or another PDF reader) installed.
3. There is a version of TeXMaker for Linux. Configure the PDFLateX option.

• How to install LaTeX on Macs:

1. Follow the instructions at MacTeX.

• Some examples of LaTeX files:

1. barebones.tex
2. A multiple choice quiz
3. LaTeX is part of MediaWiki and other software on the Internet\[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}\]
4. BA.tex | Boole.jpg | Huntington.jpg | Stone.jpg

• Resources:

1. A Simplified Introduction to LaTeX
2. A LaTeX Primer
3. The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX
4. A LaTeX crash course
5. The TeX Cookbook (List of symbols)
6. The standard book reference is: Leslie Lamport, LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, Addison-Wesley, 2nd Edition, 1994.

[edit] Beamer

• Jennifer's Presentation
  • Latex source
  • To compile the LaTeX file, you will also need to download the contents of the folder with the images used. (Put the files in a directory called "images".)
• A Beamer slide presentation: PDF file LaTeX file

[edit] PSTricks

• Agamyrat's Presentation
  • Latex source.
• Using PSTricks with TeXMaker
• PSTricks on MACs:

On the Mac version - if this line is the first line of the a document using pstricks:

% !TEX TS-program = latex

the document can be typeset with Latex (the normal way it works in TexShop) instead of XeLaTex (the option we found in the Monday lab). [Thanks, Louise!]
