Using LaTeX to Create Quality PDF Documents

This article is devoted to methods of creating fine quality interactive pdf documents using LATEX. For individuals who write technical material, TEX and LATEX are the idealauthoring tools. Even though this article is written primarily for LATEX users, people who prefer pure TEX may derive much from this article as well. I, myself, prefer AMS-TEX; […]

GPGPU – Basic Math Tutorial

The goal of this tutorial is to explain the background and all necessary steps that are required to implement a simple linear algebra operator on the GPU: saxpy() as known from the BLAS library. For two vectors x and y of length N and a scalar value alpha, we want to compute a scaled vector-vector […]

Discourse Phenomena in Tutorial Dialogs on Mathematical Proofs

Dialogs about problem solving in mathematics are characterized by a mixture of telegraphic natural language text and embedded formal expressions. Behaving adequately in such an environment is extremely important for tutorial systems, as follows from Moore’s empirical findings which show that flexible natural language dialog is needed to support active learning [9]. However, most state-of-the-art […]
