MATH 481, Spring 2008
Sample Reports

Here are selected reports written by students. By placing a report here I don't imply that it is perfect. However it means that it is instructive enough to make it worthwhile to browse through for mathematical content, writing style and LaTeX markup. In some cases I have edited the LaTeX markup slightly to correct deficiencies. Reports are provided both as LaTeX source and compiled PDF files. External images, if any, are compiled into the PDF files but not provided separately.

Note: To download a LaTeX file, probably you need to right click on the link and select something like "Save link as…". This is browser-dependent.
