Math 214: Foundations of Mathematics (Fall 2012)
Your homework should be typed.
It is not easy to write in mathematics, and by typing your homework, you can revise and improve your writing easily.
You are strongly suggested to use latex to type your homeworks.
Latex is a programming language to type texts with math content. You need to use some text editor to compile your .tex file, then use a latex compiler to typyset your latex file. In windows, WinEdt (or CTex) is a good software to type and typeset your files. For Mac, MacTex (download it here) and basicTex (install both) is good.
Here is a tutorial page for latex. You may also use the online tex-editor (which doesn't installation): https://www.scribtex.com/.
For beginners, it is easier to start by modifying other .tex files. Here a sample homework (.pdf, .tex) and its solution (.pdf, .tex).
A latex tutorial session will be given at Monday, Sept 3, 2-3pm at Jones Hall 131. Please bring your laptop with loaded software.
