In order to use the templates you are expected to have TeX and friends installed on your local machine. The recommended installation of TeX for Unix is TeXLive 2010 or later. You are also advised to avoid pdflatex and use latex->dvips->ps2pdf for file processing as some of the files might contain figures which are usually created by PSTricks. We strongly encourage use of Makefile provided on the teaching resources page to process TeX source files. One exception from above rule is Math1070_Exam1.tex file for which you must use pdflatex as it contain figures which were created by PGFplots.
