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.
