SPS Tutorials
SPS has conducted tutorials on various topics useful to physics concentrators.

- LaTeX is a program for typesetting scientific papers: it specializes in rendering beautiful equations. Doug McClure has taught a LaTeX tutorial a few times. He has a handout, but I don't think I have a computer copy of it. There are, however, a lot of LaTeX tutorials online: see this (recommended), this (also good), this, this, this, or the rest...

- Mathematica is a program for doing symbolic mathematics: derivatives, integrals, plotting, etc. It is extremely useful for ugly physics problems, or even those problems that just aren't especially pretty. Peter Williams has taught a tutorial on it and put together a handout (LaTeX source).
If there's anything else you'd like to see a tutorial on, send a mail to physics@hcs. (The only other subject that I can think of at the moment is Matlab, but I'm sure there are other things that would make for a good tutorial. Even things that aren't necessarily computer programs: an Integration Tricks tutorial?)
