Problems 11
  1. Theory.
    1. Suppose you want to use the revtex4 document class from American Physical Society. How do you install it on your box from Ubuntu repositories?
      Hint:
      apt-cache search revtex
      
      this tells you that the object revtex is contained in the package texlive-publishers. You can read about the object revtex in the package with
      apt-cache show texlive-publishers | grep revtex
      
      And you can install the package with
      sudo apt-get install texlive-publishers
      
  2. Practice.
    1. An example of examination exercise: the error function.
      • Implement the (complimentary) error function using the integration routines from GSL.
      • Create a short report about the error function using the material from the corresponding article in wikipedia and about your implementation. You should use the integration subroutines from GSL. Use LaTeX document class article or revtex4 (or your other favourite class).
      • The plots of the error function and the complementary error function must be done using pyxplot/gnuplot and your implementation of the error function.
