The heaviside coverup method for partial fractions is pretty dope.
e.g. 1/(x+1)(x-5)= 1/6(x-5) -1/6(x+1). You can find the coefficients 1/6, -1/6 by covering up the (x-5) then plugging 5 into what's left, and then covering up (x+1) then plugging -1 into what's left. You can literally do those integrals/solve many separable ODE's that are commonly seen in practice in your head in seconds using that.
edit: worked example
Improved version!
I've taken your comments into account. Thanks for all your upvotes and replies.
Still just a silly project.
Made with TikZ/LaTeX, code available here.
I think you may want to look at Latex. Writing tex documents in vim is a breeze :) It's widely used by the scientific community to write papers, but has a lot of other uses. Put simply it's a software allowing to create documents formatted like a word or libreoffice doc, by writing text.
It has powerful bibliography and citing features.
If the wikibook is a bit dense, Overleaf has some nice documentation, although not as complete.
I think it's actually Turing complete
Edit: It is
Honestly, I know it's kind of esoteric if you're not in an academic field, but learning how to use LaTex for documents is really great. It's so much easier to maintain longer documents than word, and after some practice documents look way better with less effort.
The code itself is actually really simple once you've tried it once or twice, for example writing a new section/heading/chapter is just done by typing \section{namehere} etc, then it plugs all the text below that into it's own section till the next \section or \chapter command etc. I find it easier than word now, since there's no need to format title sizes/fonts or worry where pictures go now, it just does it for you.
Also, typing equations is way easier, just \begin{equation} equation goes here eg x=\frac{y}{z} (x=y/z)\end {equation}, rather than fiddling with word symbols for greek letters, and it's super easy to reference equations, pictures and cite work
I'd recommend anyone that writes reports to try and learn it, there's even a webpage called Overleaf that compiles it as you go along, and is super user friendly. Man, I wrote way more than I planned for that.
EDIT: Just remembered, if you do use overleaf I recommend going for the "source" text view rather than the "rich text" view
I highly recommend Overleaf. It has nice features like autocomplete, commenting, and sharing. It makes working with Latex seem more like writing a regular document.
Full disclosure: that's a referral link.
It produces output. What you do with that output is up to you :)
Look up presentation templates, might see something you like.
beamer is a popular option
Another really good site: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Tutorials
Has a lot of tutorials, templates and you can use Latex directly on there site, so you don't need to fuzz around setung up latex on your PC. Good place to get a first look
No idea if it’s helpful at this point, but here are some one-sheets on some major topics from the Oklahoma State diff eq I put together when I ran the math tutoring center
Look at the example of inline math in the overleaf tutorial: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/mathematical_expressions#Mathematical_modes
You don’t need to put $$ around each argument, rather at the beginning and the end of the whole equation.
> It works
...when you're online only. Many of us like/need to write offline, e.g. while traveling, at cafes, and so forth. Even if you use Overleaf a majority of the time, it's still useful to have a local TeX distribution available for when you need to work offline. (Overleaf handily has git integration that allows you to work offline, provided you regularly git pull and git push.)
I myself prefer using LaTeX locally (TeX Live) so that I can use my editor of choice, vim, without which I am totally inefficient.
Directly in LaTeX. You can learn good habits such as breaking the sections in diferents .tex files and including then in your main.tex later. By writing it directly you can see your errors easily. If you want a good way to write your document without instaling anything and having already lots of packages you should go for sharelatex or overleaf.
Tu não precisa se preocupar com formatação, só usar umas marcações que lembra um pouco HTML que tu consegue fazer um artigo formatado do jeito que quiser sem suar muito. Dá uma olhada em sites como sharelatex e overleaf.
Visit the math and physics department of any university. Most academic papers are typeset in LaTeX.
ShareLaTeX alone has over a million users as of four and half years ago.
But as this is something that you download and use on your own computer, accurate figures are indeed hard to come by.
Here is how that sentence would appear in your doc:
Here's a statement from a paper \cite{wilsonjohn} and these data show that the sun is actually a banana, see table \cref{table:sunbanana}.
You would have a file with name thesis.bib (see the part starting with Bibliography management with Bibtex in this introduction). As to the table reference, you might have this.
This table shows the sun is a banana. \begin{table} \ref{table:sunbanana} \centering \begin{tabular}{r|l} the sun &a banana \ the moon &green cheese \end{tabular} \end{table}
A few things to note from the perspective of someone who sees a lot of resumes.
- It's boring, take a step back and use a more interesting template (Overleaf has some great templates)
- You haven't done any projects recently (from the perspective of an interviewer), do something you can talk about in an interview that I can use to test your technical knowledge
- I wouldn't remove your experience like others suggest, instead, don't make it the focus (move it down to the bottom and try to highlight your projects)
If you treat finding a job like a job, you'll get much more success. Use the time you're not interviewing to sharpen your skills (you said you were doing small projects, great!), read a book to refresh your knowledge and try to make something that interests you so you can talk about it.
It's not easy to stay focused when you're so long out of a job but if you make a big push for a month or two you'll have a job in no time.
Good luck!

Kostenlos, keine pakete Installieren, zügiges automatisches rendern, sogar eine art WYSIWYG-Editor. Auch gemeinsames editieren im Google-Docs Sytle möglich. Einziger Nachteil: Dauerhafte Internetverbindung notwendig.
$120 is... a lot. I'm not saying it isn't worth it, but that is a hell of a lot to pay for a resume.
I've built all of my resumes, and have always received compliments with them when interviewing with employers.
My biggest advice to people is always to ditch Microsoft Word. Word is a horrible program for making anything that requires decent formatting. I vastly prefer LaTeX for professional documents, and always use PDF so I can ensure my resume looks the way it is intended to.
I'm also lucky enough to have several friends who hire for their respective companies. I normally spend about half a week agonizing over the tiny details on my resume and then send it to them to check.
First, a misconception: LaTeX isn’t an app. It’s a typesetting language, something between markdown (the formatting stuff you use on reddit) and a full-blown programming language¹. You write it in plaintext with various commands that then get converted into a pdf by a compiler. There are various ways you can do that, most beginner-fiendly is overleaf, which doesn’t require you to install anything.
You’ll have to learn how to use it, and a dictionary is a very difficult thing to get started with — but also very rewarding once you figure out exactly how to lay it out. I would recommend going through a few tutorials and getting the hang of it first. Bear in mind also that a LaTeX dictionary may not even be at all what you’re looking for. If you want a pretty pdf dictionary that you could eventually print out as a real book, it’s the right choice. If you want a nice, easily searchable, perhaps even interactive thing? Look elsewhere.
¹I’m aware it actually is a full-blown programming language but you’re insane if you use it that way.
I recommend using LaTeX if you want to develop a CV similar to the pictures provided. You can find a rake of templates on Overleaf (a LaTeX editor) and you just have to swap in your own info. I use this template with some altered colours and fields.
Check out Overleaf. It's a free online LaTex editor with great community-made note-taking templates. Since it runs in the browser it works on any OS.
Hopefully someone else has recommendations on stuff that runs offline.
Check out overleaf.com, it's basically an in-browser LaTeX editor. You can sign in with your google account, and it has a side-by-side code and document preview so you can see what it'll look like as you change the code. If you make a mistake it'll alert you of the what the error is and where immediately. Multiple people can work on the same document, so if you're doing a group lab report or something it's easy to work together.
LaTeX is definetly worth learning if you're going to be writing academic reports or other documents. It just looks so much more professional, and once you know it it's so much easier to just define the formatting for the overall document and have it auto-format itself as you write, instead of having to format every single page individually. Check out some of the templates to get an idea of what can be done. You don't have to become an expert in it to start being productive in it, just do a quick tutorial to learn the basic syntax for doing stuff like lists, figures, math symbols, etc. then pick a template that suits your needs and fill in with your own content. More advanced stuff you can learn later if you want to.
Overleaf is a great online Latex editor. I tend to use it because it makes giving the document to someone else to edit so much easier.
It can also sync with git if you'd prefer to version control it that way!
Overleaf (latex) is the most customizable imo. There's a slight learning curve, but once you're used to it, it's a breeze.
There are also many predefined templates, which you would just need to plugin your info.
Tikz and pgf get used a lot but aren’t always the easiest to get started with unless there is a similar example. There is very extensive documentation on CTAN
It's essential if you're going for the academic career, since most papers and works are written in LaTeX. Less so if you're not going this way, but it isn't that hard to learn.
In my opinion, it's even easier if you have some programming experience from other courses. You'll have an idea how it works on a high level, apply some good general programming practices and identify where your text might have gone wrong.
There are great resources nowadays, like Overleaf documentation and TeX StackExchange. It may sound as advertising but I like Overleaf a lot, you don't even need to install compilers and such anymore.
Overleaf has git integrated in its product. https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Using_Git_and_GitHub
You can continue working on your local editor and push / pull using git, while your collaborators can continue working on overleaf.
Free accounts may not have git access. If even one of your collaborators has a paid account, then you can make that collaborator as the primary owner of the project to have git access for it.
LaTeX is basically the way that all math in academia is typed, its ubiquitous everywhere from math to physics to engineering to computer science. Check out Overleaf for some examples and a very convenient online latex editor.
Looks very similar to this one: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/faangpath-simple-template/npsfpdqnxmbc
A more “modern” interpretation would be this one: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/resume-template/ysrmnrwyrhpp
Jeg er ikke uenig. Jeg var nok bare kontrær dengang, da jeg virkelig var træt af systemet. Jeg endte med at sætte moderncv op i LaTeX, og fik et ret godt resultat ud af det. Alle mine jobs har dog været gennem bekendtskab. Der er ikke nogen der læser ansøgninger længere - medmindre de ikke kender nogen, som kan overtage arbejdet. Alt for mange jobs går til interne ansøgere.
LaTeX is perhaps the best writing tool if you already know what you want to write. It has endless possibilities for characters, fonts, IPA augmentations and graphic implementations. Not to even start on the arrays of layouts you can make.
Myself use it for almost every thing, from conlanging and stories to boring work and essays. Sure it takes some getting used to it. But it is worth it.
- want to use clever inputs go to overleaf. An online service with easy code options and pre-made layouts
- start with a .tex file that already has your fancy if you're new.
- looking something, google it. Changes are that the answer is in the top result and clearly explained.
- use detexify. Draw and get your code.
- for Apple users use Texit en Texworks.
- still want more? Learn Tikz to draw in pdf.
- go package shopping, most LaTeX programs have most of them pre-installed.
And lastly don't once you have a head or leader you can use, don't change it.
See you in r/LaTeX
>Nice job OP! Was it easier getting first round calls for new grad? And were there are any significant changes to your resume that improved the callback rate? Thank you!
Yes there was significant changes to my resume from 2020 to 2021 to 2022. I think what improved my callback rate was having an Amazon internship on my resume alongside just changing my resume format. I used Jakes resume here.
Overleaf is a powerful LaTeX editor that compiles the pdf as you go, if you are looking to go more formal than Word or Docs. LaTeX is primarily what I’ve used to write formal papers/CVs/assignments.
Single column LaTeX resume template has worked well for me.
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs
I’d move ‘Technical Skills’ to be directly under education (was told to do this by a Google recruiter).
Typography is hard, if it's at all possible to get someone with experience to do it. Not only do you need to know some of the more complicated software packages on earth, there's centuries of typographical knowledge passed down since the invention of the printed press.
If money and time is limited, I'd rather recommend spending reading up on the design principles then using a less-than-optimal piece of software (Word or even Google Docs), then jumping into InDesign or Quark. Taste can be learned, and rather be tasteful with limitations than ugly with an excess of software…
Having said that, I'm agreeing with the other posters: If you don't have too much graphics, then LaTeX is a good option, and there are some good templates available that take away some of the pain. An easy way to get started would be Overleaf, where you can edit and preview stuff online.
It might also be worthwhile to look into Pandoc, which converts between different text formats. So you could write in Markdown (like here on reddit), then convert it to LaTeX to get a better output.
But honestly, if you're not doing 5E with its plethora of templates, then going for a very minimalist look is probably best. Avoid page borders, a specific curse on RPG books…
I personally need a good physical keyboard, an editor with VIM bindings, and two monitors are also very handy. I like to have the document open, the editor and one or two browser windows.
Nevertheless: I think Overleaf can be used on mobile and is not even bad. I've used it for a project with a friend of mine and the cool thing was that I could just go to some computer and continue working on the project.
Você conhece o LaTeX?
Normalmente, eu pego algum template desses (https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv), e coloco as minhas informações. Eu costumo variar as informações de acordo com o que é mais relevante para a vaga específica que estou tentando. A base, porém, permanece a mesma. Currículo só serve para te colocar na entrevista, que é a etapa mais complicada.
For LaTeX I can also recommend Overleaf. It's the Google Docs of LateX, so to speak. WYSIWIG preview, cloud storage, collaboration with others. Setting up a working LaTeX environment locally can be a little daunting for some.
I can't recommend it enough. Of course, learning LaTeX can be annoying. But once you've got it down, you can find a fair few templates online. Overleaf even has a few pretty good ones you can clone right here https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/tagged/cv
I'm a big fan of those, look pretty good out of the box and even better with a couple of tweaks here and there.
Use a template and fill it in with your original content.IEEE Templates
Alternatively to get a jump on the full-featured paper writing skillset, use an IEEE template in LaTeX on Overleaf (your ncsu email gets you a full service subscription) Overleaf IEEE
Generally all that stuff you are doing in your preamble can be separated out into a mythesis.sty file, and some universities provide (or used to provide in some cases) a university-thesis.sty file that does all that to match the particular institution's requirements. Or sometimes students have made one. As an example, Overleaf has this one for Stanford PhD theses
So, yeah, it's mostly about getting the style details right, and then a little bit about having convenient and semantic macros included (e.g., \firstreader{}).
you only have half a page of content, listing a million skills is not going to do anything. The proof is in the pudding, you got no responses. whoever is revising your resume is clueless. here's a popular template that should give you an idea of what content to have
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs
not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to stress to you that having a half a page of "skills" is ridiculous. did u do anything with them, like make projects?
Most mathematical documents are made using something called LateX. There are a number of different ways to do it but I think the most popular is through a website named Overleaf. It has a lot of tutorials and uses a cloud like Google docs.
Oof. Still, not that bad to write a simple program to de-shortcut your code if need be, unless you embed some of LaTeX's more complicated features (and even then it should be doable).
I would strongly suggest people check out some latex templates at https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv. You can do all the editing on site so don't need to download anything, and latex allows for some really impressive styles.
The online editor Overleaf offers a pretty good WYSIWYG editor, by still allowing you to write in actual LaTeX. I also like the collaboration feature and git integration.
It is a payed product, allowing only public papers in the free version (the paper is public for all who know the link. With read and write access).
As an aside, I can't recommend Overleaf enough. It's a great cloud based LaTeX environment. If you like the idea of LaTeX but feel a bit overwhelmed by the idea of getting it going, Overleaf is for you!
So this really bothered me too, and when I discovered the product log exists it was pretty incredible because it allowed me to manipulate a lot of transcendental equations in my numerical analysis class analytically.
What is it exactly? You can either represent it as a really complex integral, or a much simpler infinite summation. I tried finding a way to represent it in elementary terms, but never succeeded and gave up and just learned to appreciate what it could do for me.
I'm linking my investigation into it, which deconstructs it step by step in the first half, and then I try a bunch of weird stuff that didn't work out in the second. Hope it helps
Big yikes! Jeg kan ikke anbefale at skrive speciale eller større opgaver i Word. Som du erfarer er reference-systemet i Word poop, for ikke at nævne indsætning af billeder, formattering mm. Stor stor hovedpine i dagene op til aflevering, hvor du egentlig helst vil bruge din tid på at være sikker på at der ikke mangler ord, at tegnsætning stemmer, og at dine referencer er på plads, både i teksten og i referencelisten!
Skiftede selv til LaTeX til specialet, efter at have haft de sædvanlige oplevelser med Word i tidligere større opgaver. Korrupte dokumenter, fucked-up tekstombrydning når man indsætter billeder og tabeller, samt et reference-systemet der er ufleksibelt. Jaja, det er da et par årtier siden jeg skrev speciale, men jeg har ikke hørt at Word er blevet bedre til den slags.
LaTeX/bibTeX har en stejl indlæringskurve, men gevinsten er enorm. Jeg brugte BibDesk til mine referencer, hældte alt hvad jeg havde læst ind i den, og referencer var en fornøjelse. Overleaf er en udemærket online LaTeX editor, hvis du gerne vil lugte lidt til LaTeX, uden at skulle installere LaTeX og rode med diverse pakker på din computer.
Jeg brugte nok en god uges tid på at lære det grundlæggende ved LaTeX/bibTeX, sætte en template op og finpudse detaljer, men jeg slap for så meget hovedpine i slutspurten af specialet ved at gøre det. Der er uden tvivl masser af hjælp at hente på YouTube i form af tutorials
LaTeX er oftest brugt i fag hvor man skriver mange ligninger, som f.eks. økonomi, kemi, matematik, fysik, men LaTeX virkede for mig, og jeg skrev ikke speciale i nogle af de fag.
Uanset hvad du vælger, held og lykke med specialet!
did u even search others’ resume? or like how to write resume? i strongly recommend going thru some others’ resume before. also Jake’s resume form is pretty good (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs)
Actually it's not mutually exclusive. Overleaf projects can be treated like remote repositories, see https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Using_Git_and_GitHub. The downside is that if people edit it on Overleaf the commit messages are quite generic and unhelpful. I also found out that it doesn't work with git submodules.
AFAIK, the main draw of Overleaf is that it enables collaborative LaTeX editing with real-time preview. I prefer to separate these two aspects. The collaborative part is better handled by Git (descriptive commits, diffs, etc.), and the real-time preview is a lot more snappy if I compile on my own computer (I use vim + vimtex for this, but you could use any of the available software). The downside with this is quite obvious, basically every collaborator needs to be on board with it, which can be tough!
When I wrote my linear algebra book the best I could find was the systeme package. Unfortunately the documentation is in French but there are plenty of code examples in there to get you through.
The command
\systeme{12y+3x+3z=-36, 8y-3x+2z=-4, 20y+5z}
gets you the alignment you showed in your picture but without the plus sign and the horizontal line. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to do the plus sign and horizontal line with the systeme package.
If you really need the exact picture then your best bet is probably to use the tabular environment. It is more cumbersome but it will get the job done since you have a lot of control over alignment and spacing. Here are some examples with tables.
I used to use TeXstudio but now I prefer to use overleaf.
It is a LaTeX environment that you use through your browser and all your documents are accessible online. It's particularly nice for collaborative projects because you can share the document and each edit it.
Surprised overleaf isn't on here - probably the best collaborative tool for writing latex papers
Also:
- Evernote has decent pdf annotation software for reading papers and marking up pdfs. I use it on my ipad to read almost all papers (except when I'm reviewing, then I do it on paper). Anytime I see a research paper I want to read, I add it into a notebook. Then I read through them in my free time. Best part of evernote? The tag system. So much better than Mendely which uses folders. I've found many research papers touch on multiple areas of AI. With a folder system like Mendeley, I had to make sure to drag the same paper into each folder on a topic, where as with evernote, I tag each document with all related areas. Then I just search by tag when I want to find all papers on a topic.
To learn anything in LaTeX, use templates first. Once you have gained enough experience working with them (and editing them to your needs), you can create your own work.
For templates: https://www.overleaf.com/
Thanks for using it! :) There are two things that come to mind that I find invaluable:
First, there's a neat trick to work with mulitple monitors -- if you open up the same project in two difference browser windows, you can minimize the editor pane in one, and the preview pane in the other, and hey presto you can edit on one screen and have the preview refresh on the other.
Second, one of our community 'TeXperts' put together this excellent list of all the keyboard shortcuts on Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/articles/overleaf-keyboard-shortcuts/qykqfvmxdnjf
It saves a lot of time knowing about things like ctrl-g for 'find again'! :) Hope they help!
This is what I got, but I make no guarantees as to its accuracy. I'm not sure if it's aⱼ · b or aⱼ - b (or something else). I'm guessing the latter because of the magnitude, since everything seems to be positive.
How does Overleaf's multilingual example document with Hindi compile once you set the compiler to XeLaTeX?
The article <em>Multilingual typesetting on Overleaf using polyglossia and fontspec</em> may be useful.
> I'm concerned about intellectual property or other infringement, since my notes are coded based on either lectures from professors, or from textbooks on the topic.
To the extent your concern is about, say, violating someone else's copyright—like an instructor's or a textbook author's—you might find more knowledgeable counsel in /r/legaladvice. They might also have useful advice if your concern is instead to protect your copyright over your archive of notes.
GitHub is definitely a viable choice for this sort of project, as this example I recently discovered illustrates. Another possible option, especially for LaTeX-based documents, might be something like Overleaf, though you'd have to think carefully about what permissions you'd want to grant to strangers in terms of modifying your original work. But ultimately, I'd defer to others about the best ways to make your work available in a way that encourages comments and interactivity.
Good luck with your project, and congratulations on your degree!
Overleaf offers many templates, you would need some LaTex knowledge but nothing out of this world, usually it's pretty basic. I prefer some LaTex template because it's really neat and clean, so if you are looking for a really formal/simple resume then LaTex is the way to go

You can put this into the preamble and it will work as intended:
\newcommand{\mc}[1]{multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\textbf{#1}}}
Some comments:
- It's not really an equation, is it?
- You can cancel the powers of x in the numerator and denominator.
- "x" is really two completely different things here, by the look of it; the "x" appearing in the powers is presumably not just 0, whereas the independent variable that y depends on is zero.
Please see this: https://www.overleaf.com/read/mxwdbdsdhvmm
That last sum looks simple, but Wolfram can't tell me what it is, and I feel as though I'd've seen it before if it had some generally recognisable value in terms of the function. Obviously, it's got a value for any polynomial... but I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Dude, this resume looks like it was made by an 8th grader. I'm on mobile so I can't reply thoroughly right now but take a look at the resume templates at overleaf.com or at other resumes in this thread. You want to maximize space and not use a font made for a typewriter. I'll come back later with an example but hopefully this gets you started.
Edit: Here is a popular template that I used as the basis for my own resume: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/single-column-deedy-cv-slash-resume-template/zwyxmkbrfgtz
I just compiled your exact files with latexmk and it seemed to work fine. However, you could try to start with a working example on Overleaf, here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/examples/bibliographies-with-biber-and-biblatex/ccrkczqwnywf
Q1: There's no differentiation under the integral sign. They exploit the fact that they want to maximize something of the form Max_D \int f(D(x)) dx and that for the D^* they proposed, they have f(D(x)) <= f(D^* (x)) for all x and other candidate solutions D, which implies then that \int f(D(x)) dx <= \int f(D^* (x)) dx. Namely, they actually show something stronger, that their proposed solution maximizes at every point (which then implies that it maximizes the integral).
Q2: Here's the step by step computation https://www.overleaf.com/10272055vvbtmwxzqpwv#/38065380/

It's like Google Docs but for latex. I've converted my entire lab. Makes it so easy to do collaborative editing of latex documents, and the online editor is pretty good with tons of features.
Here's something I just put together. Your lecturer sounds like a complete dick. I hope I don't need to explain that the point of LaTeX is that you don't have to pick the fonts and spacing etc. Consequently it's actually quite hard to do that.
I haven't picked the right fonts, sizes, margins or written a bibliography.
I did vectorise the graph, so you can actually see it when you zoom in. Also, having the date and subject on the same line is quite tricky. The date isn't flush with the right margin. I don't know why.
I advise against using \setcounter for your pages, there's no need to keep track of that.
If you're writing a thesis, I'd use the book documentclass (or, if you're feeling brave, memoir), partly because it lets you play around with page numberings a lot better.
Here's some pseudocode of how a thesis could look like:
\documentclass{book} \begin{document}
\frontmatter % page numbers will be in roman numerals
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract} % Write your abstract here
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter % page numbers will be in arabic from now on
\chapter{First Chapter}
% Add files or write your chapter here
\backmatter % Ideal for appendices and other "chapters" that don't need numbers
\end{document}
Generally speaking, the front matter is for all the stuff that isn't properly your text: forewords, abstracts, introductions, etc. The main matter is exactly that, and the back matter is for appendices, glossaries and other such texts.
LaTeX is done precisely to keep track of all these things so you don't have to do it. Setting the number style manually is ill advised.
Now, depending on how the document is set up, sometimes you'll see a blank page after a chapter ends, this is because by default the book class is set to start a new chapter on "the right side" of a book (the technical word is that chapters start on a recto page). If your thesis will be printed, it's aesthetically nice to always start a new chapter on a recto page, but if it will only exist as an electronic document, you could set the document to be oneside.
Verujem da godine imaju uticaj, jer je verovatno većini čudno zaposliti juniora od 30+ godina, ali definitivno nije presudno. Na osnovu mog ličnog iskustva ono što ti najviše može pomoći je dobar GitHub profil, gde ćes staviti svoje projekte koje si radio učeći (idealno ako si konstanto aktivan na GitHubu). Druga stvar je lepo sređen CV. Preporučio bih https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv za pravljenje CV-a.
You need to make better use of your space. Here's an example template of what you are going for. Shoot for one page at most with work experience first in reverse chronological order (start with your current/most recent job and go backwards). Other projects/volunteer experience can come after that, and then skills/education last. For skills, focus on hard skills (for example, language) over soft skills (for example, leadership).
From there, cut whatever is least relevant to the position you are applying to in order to get down to the one page goal. You also can make better use of white space - if you have a list where the bullets don't go all the way across the page horizontally, how can you change the formatting to use that space?
Focus on including the information that is most relevant to the job you are applying for, not just stuff you are proud of (although of course you can still feel pride in an accomplishment even if it isn't relevant to your resume!). Remember that your goal is to communicate to the hiring manager reading this the value you can bring to their team.
Good luck! I know it's not easy, so hopefully you can get some useful suggestions from this sub to help you out.
To add: the learning curve shouldn't be too bad if you're in calculus (there are only a few symbols you need, and you can avoid messing around with the document format). You can also find templates that look pleasant to you on overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates), then just change the content for each set of notes.
I second the recommendation of Overleaf. If you need to be able to compile your code offline, though, then Overleaf wouldn't fit your needs. I should also add that /r/LaTeX is another good resource here on reddit for all things LaTeX-related.
Good luck!
Very nice config! Always great to see some maths and student notes. :)
If I may give some unsolicited LaTeX advice, rather than manually adding space between paragraphs you could just set inter-paragraph spacing in the document's preamble like this:
\setlength{\parskip}{5mm}
For typing maths, it's common practice to use the amsmath package. As you can see here, it's then easy to align equations vertically like this:
\begin{align*} 2x - 5y &= 8 \ 3x + 9y &= -12 \end{align*}
The amsmathpackage also has a nice environment for writing piece-wise functions:
\begin{align*} f(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{si $x$ es racional}\ 1 & \text{si $x$ es irracional} \end{cases} \end{align*}
Good luck with your studies!
> If anyone has a cleaner solution to do this at the start of all algorithm environments, let me know!
Define a custom environment.
\newenvironment{AlgFromZero} { \begin{algorithm} \setcounter{ALG@line}{-1} } { \end{algorithm} }
This should work?
The not so short introduction to LaTeX is a very comprehensive intro.
Playing around with templates on something such as Overleaf is a great way to just get stuck in, they also have their own tutorials
Just finished glossing and polishing up my formatting after transferring from working in Microsoft Word to Latex. Could I perhaps get some feedback and critique on what I have so far? I definitely still need to add more sections, but I'm trying to get each section polished and nice before I move on.
Thanks!
sami-1010 makes a good suggestion for what you’re trying to do. Lists of tables separated from the ToC are customary in technical reports and books. All you have to do is surround your tabular material in a table environment and LaTeX will keep track of them. Check this out.
But if you really want them in the ToC without the redundancy, maybe remove the title of the table (top row) from your tabular content, leaving only the subsection as the title?
I made something similar using this site where the resumes are written in LaTeX (hinted at on this persons resume). The documents are commented well enough to revise a unique resume that looks really nice. I will say that I haven't had any recent interviews in the PNW so your mileage may vary!
Oh man, your method is absolutely beautiful. That substitution just makes everything fall into place, I didn't even need anything else after that since it simplified the problem massively.
I do have 1 question though, why do you put your dx's before the integrand?
EDIT:I went back to my proof and it turns out if you write out arctanh(t)/t as a taylor series around t=0 it actually immediately turns into the end of your proof, no polylogarithm needed.
Sorta like the reddit markup, but that's just part of it. LaTeX is a full typesetting suite, so you also have control over how the document's layout renders. This snippet gives an example of the general code structure, and while it looks like it can really only do academic papers, that's not the case at all.
As for the Notepad note, yeah that's totally possible, although I imagine most people would use a text editor that has syntax highlighting like Notepad++, Sublime, or Vim.
Αν έχεις όρεξη να ασχοληθείς σοβαρά, με το latex θα πετύχεις πολύ επαγγελματικό αποτέλεσμα. Το latex είναι επεξεργαστής κειμένου με εντολές προγραμματισμού, αλλά κατεβάζοντας ένα έτοιμο template μπορείς να αλλάξεις μόνο το περιεχόμενο και να μην μπλέξεις πολύ. Εγώ χρησιοποίησα αυτό https://www.overleaf.com/articles/curriculum-vitae/cnzchmjctmwh Αν αυτά σου φαίνονται βουνό κάνε το στο word αλλά με προσεγμένο formatting, δες παραδειγματα στις εικόνες αυτού του σάιτ.
Από κει και πέρα μιας και είσαι φοιτητής και δεν έχεις πολλά να επιδείξεις από εμπειρία, θα μείνεις ΑΥΣΤΗΡΑ στην μια σελίδα. Γράψε:
όποια ασήμαντη εργασιακή εμπιερία έχεις, μετράει! Δείχνεις ότι είσαι ενεργό άτομο και δεν έξυνες μόνο τα @@ σου στην σχολή. Εκλπηρωμένη στρατιωτική θητεία αν είσαι άντρας.

Use a better template. I used this one and it landed me a few offers.

Don't include typing speed in the skills. Unless the job posting has a requirement for typing speed. Else it is irrelevant.
You are listing a lot of OOP languages. Can you effectively do technical interviews in each of those languages? If not, make 2 seperate skill categories. One for experienced and the other for familiar. Experienced would be fair game for tech interviews.
Each line for your projects and experience should start with an action verb like "coded" or "developed". So for example, "Fully functional text editor ..." should be "Developed a fully functional text editor ..."
Next, make a portfolio site with your name as the domain. It doesn't cost much and really helps. I've noticed a lot of traffic on mine when I'm job searching. Also, keep as much stuff on your github as possible. Use a simple wordpress theme where you can quickly add new projects with some pics and a description.
Could you put the Escape Room Puzzles as employment since you worked with a local small business? This would help a lot.
Your degree and projects are impressive enough to get your foot in the door, you just gotta make your resume more professional.
Man muss sich halt mal damit beschäftigen. Den groben Aufbau (Kopf/Fußzeile, Nummerierung, Inhaltsverzeichnis, etc.) kann man sich oft als Vorlage herunterladen.
Hier gibt es sogar mehrere Unterkategorien, die man sich kostenlos runterladen kann.
Je nach Komplexität des Schaubildes kann es wirklich Sinn machen, Latex zu benutzen. Es wird halt auch komplizierter.
Aber auch solche Dinger wie Bewerbungsmappen lassen sich super über eine Vorlage erstellen. Ich musste bei meiner nur in einer Checkliste meine Daten eingeben und die paar Anlagen einfügen. Das sieht sehr professionell aus und ist wirklich nicht viel mehr Arbeit als das mit Word zu machen.
Das Problem bei Latex ist meiner Meinung nach, dass es für jeden Zweck 50 verschiedene Plugins gibt. Man muss sich da wirklich mal etwas genauer mit beschäftigen, bevor man damit selbst ein beachtliches Ergebnis erzielt.
I wrote my thesis on Overleaf. It gave me peace of mind that it was backed up somewhere other than my computer. I also intermittently downloaded the whole thing as a zip file and dated it in case something happened to the site. I also backed those backups up to time machine on an external. Never had any trouble but maybe read through their EULA just in case there is something funky? Good luck on your PhD!

Looks pretty good to me. From here
Don't center align everything. It's makes your resume very difficult to read. And keep your resume to one page. It looks like you're double spacing everything, so if you remove the double spacing you should be able to get everyone on one page.
LaTeX resumes are generally the best looking, and there's tons of templates available online. https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv <- there for example. Just don't choose one of the templates with crazy graphics or headshots.
Honestly, it has been 15 years since i wrote a high school gemoetry proof.
A lot of geometry proofs (IIRC) are about stating reasons why something is true when you pretty much know it is true. But higher math proofs rely much more on intuition involving certain steps.
Those 50+ pages stem from the large number of features. You will in pretty much all cases only need a handful of tags or commands(which are also autocompleted for you). If you need something like a specific function or symbol, just google it. I could teach you that shit in 15 minutes. You trade a small upfront time investment into learning it for a lot of saved time later, and when you most need it (We both know you'll do your paper at the last possible minute ;) ). People look at the text and their eyes glaze over because it looks like "programming" to them (Which it isn't). It looks much more complicated than it is. If you can put an equation into a word document, you can sure as hell use Latex. As your eternal reward, you will be forever free off a million frustrating things Word make you do by hand, and your documents immediately look a lot more professional. Let me put it this way: I don't know anyone who has used Latex and gone back to Word. And i didn't even mention that you can also use it to make slides for presentations, so you get to ditch Powerpoint too!
edit: If installing stuff is a problem, you can also try it out here (Click on "Source" in the upper left corner to see the actual Latex file).
I think you may be overestimating how difficult it is to learn how to use LaTex. Getting started should be easy, especially if you have teachers who are recommending it and may be willing to help. Pretty much any question you have about it for your purposes should be answered by one google search. If you're very concerned about readability, you could try overleaf.com. It is a cloud-based LaTeX editor that typesets your work as you go, displaying a preview right next to the source code. It also allows you to edit in rich text rather than source code, so you can have something very close to a "What you see is what you get" interface.
From looking at this, it looks like it is indeed possible to import a bibiliography from Zotero to BibTeX, which is the main tool for managing citations in LaTeX. I have never cited sources in a paper using LaTeX, but given that it is a standard in academia, I'm sure it should be pretty easy, whether you use BibTeX or some third party package.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
I have attempted to elaborate, however I am struggling with the surjection proof.

EDIT: just completed a few extra edits
Such is academics – especially someone in the humanities :) Did you take a look at this small Overleaf document that demonstrates the commenting? (There are likely better solutions; this is just a proof-of-concept – I'm not in these positions anymore.)
You may also be interested in my question on TeX.SX that draws together brownie-points for humanities work in LaTeX :) Might not be anything in there that will induce a change of heart for a stubborn professor, but certainly enough in there to encourage you continuing with LaTeX :)
If it's allowed, I would certainly consider taking the final draft and typesetting it with TeX – with a straight-up paper (sections, paragraphs, footnotes, etc.), it should be a minimal time-investment. If you can't get your professor to work with you, it might be possible to demonstrate why you use LaTeX. I've run into the problem where professors think I'm just pompous for using something different and I've found this helps :)
even if it is, i wouldn't be surprised if a schematic circuit drawing library existed for latex
EDIT: [there is](https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/LaTeX_Graphics_using_TikZ%3A_A_Tutorial_for_Beginners_(Part_4\)%E2%80%94Circuit_Diagrams_Using_Circuitikz)
In decreasing importance (IMO):
- Inject the triangle inequality into your bones. Learn it for general metric spaces (which also means, learn what metric spaces are). Draw out the “triangles” involved in your triangle inequalities.
- Think about how you will take notes, study, do homework. Do all of the organizational work ahead of time. Learn LaTeX if you have time: https://www.overleaf.com/
- Peruse through your textbook, find some interesting-looking theorems, find the definitions of the terms in the theorem, look at examples to understand the definitions. Google more examples and plot weird functions with https://www.desmos.com/ .
No point in doing any deep self-studying ahead of time. That’s what the class is for. Better to figure out how to make your learning more efficient.
+1 on LaTeX. Would like to add that Overleaf is a free online LaTeX editor that’s really useful.
Here’s a pretty good, standard template: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs
Also remember hiring managers care about content, not aesthetics.
