Assignment
Write a paper on the life of your selected mathematician. Though I expect the information to be accurate, the purpose of this assignment is to familiarize yourself with the structure of a paper -- titlepage, abstracts, sections, bibliography, etc. It is very likely that, before you complete your Mines' career, you will need to write a technical document. Hopefully this will help.
The complete paper (in pdf format) may be submitted (along with the associated support files, .tex, .bib) here.
