Misc. Maple Notes

1. Additional Notes on the Maple Interface. This is a rather large file- If you want to keep a copy, download it and save it to your Math Lab account (I'll take it down in a couple of weeks).

Misc Latex Notes

2. To print your document: Right-click the DVI file, and choose to open it with KDVI. The KDVI viewer will have a print option.

I want LaTeX on my own computer!

If you want to install LaTeX on your personal computer running Windows, there is an installation CD available in the lab- If you borrow it, please return it!!

For more info, you can go to the TeX User's Group (TUG) website; the software package is called "proTeXt".

This CD contains everything you need- LaTeX itself (the version is called MiKTeX), a choice of editors (TeXnicCenter, which is free, and a 30-day trial of WinEdt), and it also has the software needed to view/print PostScript files.

1. How to share files between you and your partner (Look at "Using sftp to Transfer Files Between Accounts"
2. How to get/put information on a floppy drive (we don't use Windows, we use an operating system called "Linux", so this is different than you're used to... Look at "Using Windows Formatted Floppies"
