Over the winter break I self-studied Tom Apostol’s Introduction to Analytic Number Theory book and completed the first three chapters, as well as the majority of the fourth. I posted the solutions, in pdf format this time, to the Solutions page. I chose this subject because Cornell currently does not have any course on analytic number theory, though it does have a graduate course in algebraic number theory, which I am taking this semester. More of that information is in a post on my main blog.
As stated in that post, I am now a double major in mathematics and computer science. This semester I am also planning to take all my notes in real-time LaTeX, aka LiveTeXing, as someone pointed out. The notes I have uploaded to Scribd, as it is more organized there and easier to view at a glance. They should be uploaded by the end of the same day of each lecture. I may upload them directly to this blog as well for centralization.
Courses that I am LiveTeXing: CS 4820, CS 4850, Math 4340, Math 7370.
I am also taking CS 3410, but the professor is posting all the powerpoints online, so it would be redundant to LiveTeX it.
What type of computer do you use to liveTeX? What type of computer would you recommend to someone who’s liveTeXing?
