  1. Ma 375 Communicating Mathematics Carl Eberhart and Paul Eakin Class 6 -- Making a problem set

  2. Problem Set Making Making new problem sets is one of a teacher’s jobs. It is nice to have the tools to do it in a professional manner. Usually, there will be typeset math and graphics of some sort.

  3. A Problem Set template \documentclass[12pt]{article} \textheight 9in \textwidth 6.5in \newtheorem{problem}{Problem} \begin{document} \begin{center} {\bf\large Problem Set 1} \end{center} \begin{problem} first question \end{problem} \vfill \begin{problem} second question \vfill \end{document}

  4. Some new LaTeX Commands • \newtheorem{problem}{Problem} • Putting this in the preamble allows you to • \begin{problem} • \end{problem} • in the body

  5. Another LaTeX command To make a nice table, put this in your tex document \begin{tabular}[.5in]{|l | l | l |}\hline ksks & stuff & more stuff \\ \hline akks & yet more Stuff & More stuff \\ \hline \end{tabular}

  6. More on Graphics. Use \multiput to draw repetitively in the picture mode the package graphpap is handy to draw quadrille paper.

  7. Homework assignment due Monday, Feb 9 Work up a new problem set, with three problems on two pages. Use graphics and color. Supply your solutions commented out. The topic can be anything related to or requiring mathematics in the solution.
