The following are documents, files, links, or tips that I've either created or come across and found to be useful.

\(\mathrm{\LaTeX}\):

General Reference -- The Not So Short Introduction to \(\mathrm{\LaTeX}\) (Or \(\mathrm{\LaTeX}\) in 87 Minutes)
Commutative Diagrams -- Commutative Diagrams using TikZ

At one time or another when trying to include a graphic in \(\mathrm{\LaTeX}\) you may have encountered the following "no BoundingBox" error:
LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in example.png (no BoundingBox).
An easy solution to this error is to include your graphic using the following command:

      \includegraphics[natwidth=***bp,natheight=***bp,height=***in]{example.png}

Where the natural width and height values can be determined simply by opening the image file in any basic graphics editor (e.g., Windows Paint).

Beamer:

I have modified the color scheme (as well as a few other minor things) of a basic Beamer theme to better suit university presentations. Simply paste the \(\mathrm{\LaTeX}\) style files (and the two .png files) into the same directory as your Beamer .tex file and add \usetheme{UofA} (or \usetheme{TTU}) before your \begin{document}.

Ph.D. Requirements:

I have created an UNOFFICIAL guide to the Ph.D. requirements in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona. You should not rely solely on this guide to assess your progress through the program, but it may give you an idea as to which requirements you have not yet completed. Again, this is an UNOFFICIAL guide; use at your own discretion!
