- Here are a few resources for learning LaTeX:
- A bare-bones "Hello World" latex document.
- My LaTeX paper template/tutorial, the bibliography, and the compiled pdf. This template has a very detailed header which you are free to use and modify.
- Tobias Oetiker's Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX. A good guide for moving past the basics.
- The TeX-Live Users Group Download TeXlive here. It is free, of course.

You also need an editor. My favorite is
Kile,
but it only works on Linux.
There is also TeXMaker, which will work on just about any system (Linux/OSX/Windows). - Beamer stuff: Beamer_Sample.tex and Beamer_Sample.pdf
- Here are a few basic MATLAB guides:

- dfield8.m and pplane8.m by Professor John C. Polkingat Rice University.
- Wave Equation Example
- Remote Login:

If you have a Linux or Mac machine, the easiest way is just to open a
terminal and enter:
ssh -X YOUR_CALCLAB_USERNAME@calclab1.math.tamu.edu matlab
Make sure to replace YOUR_CALCLAB_USERNAME with the user name you use to login in class. - NoMachineNX and VOAL Tutorial. Use this for Linux/Mac/Windows machines.
- Learn Linux, if you are interested:
- Installing Linux is 100% free and very easy. I recommend starting with Ubuntu Linux.
