Mathematical Typesetting
texPad for offline practice etc
Download texPad unzip and run it. Use texPad for learning LaTeX off-line. Here is a 13:30 minute video on using texPad. Use the Moodle for practicing LaTeX . texWins for browser-based LaTeX documents
Use texWins online for professional looking homework. For Logical Symbols and Figures you'll need an extended preamble. LaTeX Sampler with preambles and examples. Mathematical Figures
- Make Figures with annotations using iPaint on the lab Macs.
- An essay on palettes for various drawing programs.
Constructions with Ilya Baran's KSEG
- Download KSEG, unzip and run it.
- For MacOS 10.7(Lion) and 10.8(Mountain Lion) additional Mac Specific Installs are now necessary.
- Ilya Baran's KSEG Help File.
- Additional help with KSEG
- Make Constructions with KSEG and by hand.
- Here is an 8 minute video on how to make a figure with KSEG and Paint.
Constructions with Mike Hvidsten's Geometry Explorer
- Getting Started with GEX 2.0
- The complete 264 page GEX Guide
- Here is a 9:30 minute video on how to work with GEX and Paint.
Elluminate
The functionality of Elluminate has changed since this company was acquired by the Oracel subsidiary, Blackboard Collaborate. Thus the "First Aid" page is now misleading. A partial replacement is in the "Getting Started" page. But there is some wisdom to be gained from the original advice.
- Getting started with Blackboard Collaborate
- First aid with Elluminate
Homework
Online submission, grading and returning is a volatile effort that depends on the particular class management system used in your current class. What follows is partially obsolete and will be corrected in due time.
- Prepare Homework for submission.
- Miscellaneous frequently asked questions which will grow in length.
