\section*{Instructions}

Due on Friday, Oct. 8, 2021

This is the only assignment that you are \textbf{required} to do in LaTeX.  To assist you with this, the source for this file has been provided for you.  You should be able to edit the file with your favorite text editor, but be careful that you don't use a word processor such as MS Word.

To create a PDF from a latex file, you can run:

\vspace{5mm}
\texttt{pdflatex file.tex}
\vspace{5mm}

on a command line from the CS workstations.

% This is a comment in LaTeX.  Any line that starts with a '%' character is ignored.  Make sure you read these in the given source, as sometimes important information will be located in here helping you with assembling equations.

You may also want to investigate using Overleaf \url{https://overleaf.com}, which is a web-based LaTeX GUI editor which is very nice.  It also allows collaboration with others.

For your personal computer, you will most likely need to install a LaTeX system.  There are links off the Resources section of the syllabus.  I personally use TeXShop, which comes with the default installation, or Texmaker, which is a separate install.  The latter can be nice because it has a lot of the math symbols easily accessible.  The former has a more simplistic interface, which can make it easier to edit a file.  Your mileage may vary, and emacs and vi are perfectly fine alternatives.

Please submit the PDF via Blackboard by the due date.
