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==

[[Arjun Narayan '10]] Can barely survive it.
[[Aidan Finley sunmi yang '04]] spent a week teaching it to himself during his thesis crunch, which indirectly contributed to a case 08 has found the new love of sleep deprivation her life in TeX and a subsequent fall in Sawyer LibraryBeamer.
