- Ingredients:
- Server space (at your school, or rent for about $20 per month) # IP address such as [http://69.13.193.155 69.13.193.155] (comes with 1.) # A domain name such as ''www.utep.edu'' (comes with 1., or about $20 a year)
- An FTP client such as WinSCP to transfer files
- A Telnet/SSH client such as Tunnelier (Tunnelier also has an ftp client built in) or PuTTy
- Now you can install software to put Mathematics on the web such as latex2html (old-fashioned) or MathJax, or use a pre-canned web authoring tool such as MediaWiki\[\int_0^1 x^2\,dx\]
Linux
- Ubuntu Linux distribution
R
- The R-Project website

- Download page. You need to have Java installed on your computer.
- Tutorial
- A GeoGebra applet as a web page
- A GeoGebra applet embedded in MediaWiki (quartic)| A GeoGebra applet embedded in MediaWiki II (linkage)
- An example exporting GeoGebra graphics to LaTeX (LaTeX source file)

LaTeX
- How to install LaTeX on Windows:

- Make sure you have Adobe Reader installed.
- Download and install an editor, such as TeXMaker or TeXnicCenter. Configure the PDFLateX option.
- How to install LaTeX on Linux:
- Skip Step 1 above: LaTeX should already be installed.
- Make sure you have Adobe Reader (or another PDF reader) installed.
- There is a version of TeXMaker for Linux. Configure the PDFLateX option.
- How to install LaTeX on Macs:
- Follow the instructions at MacTeX.
- Some examples of LaTeX files:
- barebones.tex
- A multiple choice quiz
- LaTeX is part of MediaWiki and other software on the Internet\[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}\]
- BA.tex | Boole.jpg | Huntington.jpg | Stone.jpg
- Resources:
- A Simplified Introduction to LaTeX
- A LaTeX Primer
- The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX
- A LaTeX crash course
- The TeX Cookbook (List of symbols)
- The standard book reference is: Leslie Lamport, LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, Addison-Wesley, 2nd Edition, 1994.

PSTricks
- 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!]
