The Bates LaTeX Manual
Lessons and Exercises
Each .tex file shows the source code used to generate the Lesson portion of the output .dvi file. After viewing both of these, you should try to create the .tex code for the Exercise portion of the output file. Then check your code against the sample solution in the Exercise Answers. The full Introduction contains more details on how to use this manual. The Acknowledgments contains the names of those who are to blame for this manual.
Software Required: You will need some sort of LaTeX software. In the Bates computer labs, you may use the program PCTeX. There is also free software available for your own machine; see the Math Department Learning LaTeX page for instructions on downloading it. Each output file has also been provided in a .pdf version in case you need to view it on a machine without LaTeX software.
