% only need to change it to your section number, Homework number, and your name

\noindent {\sc Math 290 Section 003 \hfill Example \LaTeX~File 1 }

% \noindent tells Latex to not indent this line as it would a new paragraph.
% \sc       tells Latex to use small caps for the text inside the { }.
% \hfill    tells Latex to put equal spacing between the three text items.
% ~         The "~" after \LaTeX tells Latex to force a space.  Otherwise, there would be none.

\bigskip  %Puts a big line skip between the previous text and the next text.


Welcome to \LaTeX, a wonderful system for document preparation,
especially documents that contain mathematics.  If you have ever
tried to type math in Microsoft Word, you will have noticed that
Equation Editor, at best, can be described as clunky.  Never fear,
\LaTeX~is here!  \LaTeX~and WinEdt or another editor together make a
very wonderful team for typesetting mathematics.

We will use the files example1.tex and example2.tex to help learn
the basic skills you need to successfully use these programs.  In
order to learn what you need to learn, it is important that you not
only read the the output files, but also the .tex file itself. The
file template.tex can be used as a template for your homework.

\LaTeX~is a document preparation system that is much different from
MS Word.  Word is a WYSIWYG, which means that you format as you
write.  \LaTeX~is different in that you write the text and
\LaTeX~will automatically format it for you.  This is good because
we end up with documents that look good and are uniform in
appearance.  For various reasons there are a few things we need to
do to tweak the output, such as the use of the \~{} after every
$\backslash$LaTeX command to ensure proper spacing, but these are
easily learned.

As you type, note that it does not  matter how    many spaces you
put between         words, \LaTeX~automatically    reads it    as
one space. To start a new paragraph, skip two lines in the body of
the text where    you want    the new paragraph to start.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Some types of word formatting:
\item Some Typeface
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{bold},
\item \textit{italicized},
\item \textsf{sans serif},
\end{enumerate}
\item Some Font sizes
\begin{enumerate}
\item \tiny{tiny},
\item \small{small},
\item \normalsize{normal size},
\item \large{large},
\item \LARGE{LARGE}.\normalsize
\end{enumerate}
\item However, after we do this, we need to be sure to
return the text to normal size. For most of our purposes, there will
be no need to change from normal size.
\end{enumerate}

Okay, this is a silly example page, but it should give you the idea
of what the inside of a latex document looks like.  You are now
ready for example2.tex.
