Here's a place to let people know what, exactly, you can hack. (Or use.)
(Edited to remove graduated students. Revert if you feel that is wrong.)
Also for those who feel that they are inadequate because they cannot program in TeX/Mathematica, there will be workshops on these topics during Winter Study. All Math majors will receive an email about this soon. Anyone else can sign up by emailing Rahul Shah (09ras) or look in the daily messages/other appropriate communication media. ==Computer The Devil's Languages==

But if she ever decided aesthetics were worth everything and anything, she'd be all up ons for chem reports TeX-edCan barely survive it.)
sunmi yang '08 has found the new love of her life in TeX and Beamer. Some even call TeX her abusive boyfriend.
[[Aidan Finley '04Rahul Shah]] spent a week teaching it to himself during Can TeX his thesis crunch, which indirectly contributed Math homework when he needs to a case of sleep deprivation and a subsequent fall in Sawyer Library. This in turn produced a leg wound which required hospitalization during Senior Week.
