Wellcome

Hello everybody.

First of all wellcome to the blog. Is the first expirence I have of the use of a blog for a tutorship. I hope that everything will be ok.

I would like that the questions and comments you post don’t be anonimous, at least write your name and your initial. The reason is clear, it is a nice way to control your work since it will count in the final mark. I plan also to make small surveys about the module, your difficulties, etc. This kind of post can be answered anonymously for sure.

If you have to write some mathematical formulas, you have to write

latex formula

between $ and $.

You can see some examples in the following link: http://onemperu.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/como-escribir-las-formulas-matematicas-latex/ (sorry for the Spanish but is the best explanation I found). Take care, when you write it you don’t use the brackets in the formula. There are examples and further explanations in the comments of that post.

I know that the first time is difficult and I don’t think that you will have to write a lot of formulas. The basic tool is “\” that you have to write before the name of the comand (e.g. \sin,\lim,\frac{a}{b},…) and the subscript are written with _ : “something_{The subscript here}” and superscript with ^ : “something^{The superscript here}”.

There are other basics formulas (don’t bother about the more complicated formulas, I don’t think you will need them) in http://www.personal.ceu.hu/tex/cookbook.html. Note that you have to write “$” and the word “latex” (space) and the formula finishing with another $.

Maybe the most difficult is understand the post, but I believe that with a little of practise you can write whatever you need.

Pablo.
