ECE 50024: LaTeX

Why use LaTeX?

We encourage you to typeset your homework solutions in LaTeX. Typing your solution in LaTeX has multiple advantages:

1. It is easier for us to grade.

2. You will have a clean and typed solution for record.

3. Some equations can be used in later homeworks so you do not need to retype.

4. Majority of the journals and conferences in machine learning only accept LaTeX manuscripts. If you like to do research in machine learning, you should learn LaTeX as soon as possible.
   

Getting started with LaTeX

To help you get started with LaTeX, we suggest the following online resources.

• Overleaf (Website)
  I highly recommend overleaf, if you are a beginner of LaTeX. Overleaf is an online LaTeX platform. It can save you an enormous amount of time installing LaTeX on your local machine. As a Purdue student, you can use overleaf for free with quite a lot of storage space.

• LaTeX Tutorial (Website)
  This is a tutorial website that contains most of the basic tools you need for LaTeX.

Install LaTeX on local machines

If you like to install LaTeX on your local machine, there are a lot of resources online you can get help from.
