MATH 4900 - Senior Seminar

Class Information:

Example Latex template:

  • You can replace the stuff in this template to write a paper with LaTeX if you want.   Note it also teaches you how to write in LaTeX at the same time.   Note: When you compile it, you may have to compile it twice to get the ?? to dissapear and the references / citations to appear.

LaTeX program download:

  • Go here to get windows, mac, or linux versions of LaTeX.   I use the MacTex distribution on my mac.   I used the MikTex distribution when I was using a Windows PC.
