LaTeX information:

LaTeX is a typesetting program that produces textbook quality documents.  It is especially adept at handling mathematical formulas and technical writing.  Unlike a word processor, LaTeX does not produce WYSWIG documents, but requires the user to give explicit typesetting commands.  While this makes getting started a little more challenging, it also gives  extraordinary control over the look of the document. Beginners may wish to try TeXnicCenter (for Windows) or TeXshop (for Mac), which both have a GUI, or LyX, which is considered a WYSIWIM (what you see is what you mean) interface similar to a word processor. More advanced users may wish to install MiKTeX and use a text editor (like Emacs).  All of these programs are freely available under GNU General Public License. Thorough directions for installation are available.

The LaTeX project maintains links to a number guides to using LaTeX.  I used The (no so) Short Introduction to LaTeX2e to get started, and still find it to be a handy reference for many things LaTeX.


Computer Algebra Systems:

The program Derive is available in the Mathematics computer rooms (KC 126, 204 and 307.   Derive tutorials are available from Texas Instruments.

You may also consider checking out Maxima, a free, open source CAS.  The website contains the download, documentation and tutorials.
