LaTeX

Most mathematics nowadays is written using LaTeX.

An excellent introduction to LaTeX is The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e. (This guide is also available in other languages).

This Short Math Guide for LaTeX summarizes the math commands in LaTeX (including the packages amsmath and amssymb).

Here are some of the LaTeX examples we used in class:

LaTeX	Postscript	PDF
example0.tex	example0.ps	example0.pdf
example1.tex	example1.ps	example1.pdf
example2.tex	example2.ps	example2.pdf
mathsamples.tex	mathsamples.ps	mathsamples.pdf
pstdemo.tex	pstdemo.ps	pstdemo.pdf

A LaTeX template for your writing projects is available here.

Mathematica, Maple and MatLab files

Here are the files from the class on computer assisted mathematics: Maple, Mathematica, MatLab 1 and MatLab 2

References and links to tutorials for Mathematica, Maple and Matlab can be found on the Tutorial Web Page
