I am responsible for homework in math class, and I have a couple options; first would be to sit with someone 2 hours a day or more and let them read mathlab, do the work, then read out everything so they can put it all in. This is clearly not the best solution since it takes the time I have to do the problem plus double at least that much to get it all read and put in properly. My next solution would be to set up latex so that I can create pdfs and do the problems there. I'm curious if anyone has had much luck with this. I started a document in Latex and did some work with it, but when I convert with rubber it does not work. I'm also curious where a good starting point would be. Can I just install latex and go to work with the homework? Do I need a ton of other stuff?
