Exercise sheets 1 to 3
There will be 6 exercise sheets, sheets 1 to 3 dealing with LaTeX and
sheets 4 to 6 dealing with Maple.
LaTeX sheet 1 and its "Solutions"
LaTeX sheet 2 and its "Solutions". Here's a hint for the exercise which asks you to
write a command to produce characteristic polynomials.
LaTeX sheet 3 and its "Solutions". The file example.eps used in the sheet (for some reason
Internet Explorer renames this to example.ps. Give it back its
proper name when you save it).
Pinlabel
Here are instructions for installing
the pinlabel package. You can also download
some documentation for the package.
LaTeX installation instructions
These instructions tell
you how to install LaTeX on your PC, using an installation CD which
you can borrow from me.
texshell.ini file for use in room 302, and on your own computers
This file ensures that the buttons in TeXShell are properly configured
for this module. There are two versions, one for use in room 302, the
other for use on your own PC. (The version for your PC is included on
the install disks, so you shouldn't need to download this one.)
You only need download this file once. In Internet explorer, click on
the relevant link below, choose Save in the dialog box which
appears, and save the file in your M:\texshell folder (room
302), or in the folder where you installed TeXShell (home PC). Make
sure TeXShell isn't running while you do this, or it won't work!
