2.4 How to write Mathematics


LATEX is great at typesetting mathematics. Let X1 , X2 , . . . , Xn be a sequence of independent and
identically distributed random variables with E[Xi ] = and Var[Xi ] = 2 < , and let
n
X1 + X2 + + Xn 1X
Sn = = Xi
n n i

denote their mean. Then as n approaches infinity, the random variables n(Sn ) converge in
distribution to a normal N (0, 2 ).

2.5 How to create Sections and Subsections


Use section and subsections to organize your document. Simply use the section and subsection
buttons in the toolbar to create them, and well handle all the formatting and numbering auto-
