    Computer Help for Linux

  • Here are instructions for using email on the lab computers.

  • Help with basic linux commands (to delete/rename files, etc.) can be found here. (In particular read "Working in your Environment.")

    Labs

  • Here is the IT Labs webpage: look here to find out where labs are, and when they're open.

  • Here are some instructions on writing lab reports.

  • Here is a little advice on the technical aspects of how to write lab reports, i.e. by hand, with the computer, which programs to use, etc. (The opinions are semi-official course positions.)

  • Remember: you are not allowed to print in the lab! If you choose to print your lab report using Mathematica in another lab, be sure to follow the online printing hint: To make Mathematica print brackets, parentheses, and other characters correctly: when you choose Print from the File menu, a dialog box appears. Before clicking "OK," make sure that the boxes for the options "Include Mathematica fonts in document" and "Include PostScript resource comments" are both checked. There's a picture of this on Dan Drake's page.
