Sample paper summary
Assuming you are on one of the unix computers in one of the math labs
(or any unix computer on which LaTeX2e is installed), do the following:
- Download these files into the same directory:
sample.tex
neuro.bib
camk2.eps
- On the command line of a terminal, change into the directory
where you saved these files and type 'latex2e sample'. This
tells LaTeX2e to compile the code contained in sample.tex.
- To create the bibliography, type 'bibtex sample'. You should
probably now run LaTeX2e again (repeat step 2), then run BibTeX
again, and then run LaTeX2e again.
- Now type 'xdvi sample.dvi &'. The contents of sample.dvi are
displayed.
- To convert this to pdf format, type 'dvipdf sample.dvi' then
type ' acroread sample.pdf &'. A pdf version of the sample paper
should appear in Acrobat Reader.
That's all there is to it. Take some time to look at sample.tex and
neuro.bib to get a feel for what LaTeX and BibTeX code look like. Try
changing the code some, rerun steps 2-4 above and see how this changes
the output. This can be done in your favorite text editor.
LaTeX is notoriously difficult to learn, but you should be able to get
by in this class by simply using sample.tex and neuro.bib as a
template for your paper summaries and final project. One short coming
of the sample.tex template is that I have not shown you how to enter
mathematical expressions. If you want to learn more about LaTeX,
including entering mathematical expressions, a number of good
tutorials can be found on the web. A particularly good one is
found here.
