This site will maintain the current version of the class notes:
When it is your time to type up the class notes, download the above TeX file and add in your notes as a new section at the end. Note that some of the previous sections may not yet exist, if the people responsible for the lectures preceding yours haven't finished yet. This shouldn't matter, though. When you are finished with your lecture, just email me the new TeX file. I will take care of merging the different sections into some kind of coherent document. I know people are busy so I don't expect the lectures to get TeXed up immediately, but let's just say that if it could possibly happen within a week or so of the lecture that would be nice for everyone.
Please do NOT simply type up your assigned lecture using your own TeX macros, completely independently of the collective LaTeX file given on this page, and then send me your TeX code to incorporate into the main file. This requires me to spend a long time merging your macros with those in the main file, and making sure everything is compatible. It is much more efficient if you do this yourself.
Tips for dealing with LaTeX: First, look at what other people have done and use it as a model for what you want to do. If you need to typeset a certain diagram, try to find a diagram in the text vaguely similar and then modify the code. In my experience, "The TeXbook" and "The Latex Companion" are the best resources for how to typeset in TeX. It should be the case that 90% of what you have to do can be done by mimicing other people's sections and quick references to these two books (mostly the latter of the two). Commutative diagrams are best typeset using xypic, which is not described in the books. Here is the xypic user's guide.
Feel free to add your own TeX macros into the file, as long as they don't conflict with things already there.
Pictures: Since we are dealing with geometry, it is nice to be able to include pictures from time to time. You can use the LaTeX Picture environment for this, but I've always found this somewhat cumbersome. I tend to do my pictures using a drawing program like x-fig, export them into an eps or pdf file, and then import them into LaTeX. TikZ is another good way to do this. I will eventually put some samples of this into the notes, but perhaps including pictures is more time-consuming than I want this process to be for you. Feel free to just leave some space for a picture and fill it with question marks, or write "PICTURE TO BE INSERTED HERE" in the text. You will notice that I have done this several times in the first lecture, because I didn't have time to draw all the cobordism pictures.
If you can't figure out how to TeX up a certain thing, just ask!
