Taking a Calc 2 course at uni and have been depressed since getting our midterms back last Wed.
Had studied everything inside and out and ended up missing an A (got an A-/B+), due to very, very silly mistakes (of the arithmetic sort sometimes).
This has been a problem that's plagued me all...
Yeah. Just realizing that now, micromass.
Thanks very much. I'll take a look at overleaf as well. That sounds like a great recommendation too!
Appreciate all the help and look forward to learning to type documents in LaTeX! I currently use Microsoft Word and it's unbearable at times!
Too many recommendations, micromass! Shouldn't I just start with LaTeX? :biggrin:
Or, do I need to run LaTeX in some other program?
I just searched and found this: http://latex-project.org/
I guess I'll have to explore a bit, but from reading this thread I'm convinced it will be useful...
Alright, I'm convinced...where do I download Latex to use? ?:)
Hopefully, it's not too hard to learn. I actually want to learn it by Spring 2016 semester, so I can start turning in homework using it.

I ran across this article, which calls them scams. Anything about them we should be worried about?
I'm currently undecided on a major (having taken math, computer programming & science, and sociology courses heavily the past year), but would LaTex be useful to non-STEM fields or general everyday life?
I've wondered also if I should take it up.
Thanks.
What do you guys think of schools like ITT Tech that offer technical job skills, but aren't the traditional 4-year college comprehensive education type things?

This was from last month, but still an interesting read.
Thanks guys.
I was wondering in terms of those who do make it to full-time professors, would the distinguishing criteria for them need to be some kind of publication(s) in academic journals like it often is for regular four-year college/university institutions?
I wouldn't mind teaching at a...
I'm wondering what the minimum educational attainment is for teaching at a community college (particularly in a STEM field)? And is there such a thing as "tenure" at a community college that is equivalent to tenure at a "regular" university?
Lastly, is it easy to procure a teaching position at...
