| | 27 | == "How'd they do that?" == |
| | 28 | If you're wondering how to do something in LaTex, look up a paper on arXiv that does it. Then, click on "other" for the view options and click on the download option for the source file. This will get you the latex codes the authors used to produce the preprint, and save you a lot of time in figuring it out (or a fellow student in showing you how). |

| | 32 | == bibtex == |
| | 33 | Learn to use bibtex for your references. The first paper I wrote from beginning to end, I entered all references manually, and it's probably one of the single dumbest things I've ever done professionally (right up there with submitting a paper -- and going through the entire editorial process to acceptance -- to the wrong jounal). |
