# problemset
A LaTeX document class for problem sets.
## Description
The `problemset` class uses space on the page in a way that more closely
resembles what one would expect from a problem set, eschewing the ample
margins more appropriate to articles and manuscripts than to the typical
weekly pset.
The result is a document that combines the elegance of LaTeX with the
compactness and relative informality of a hand-written document.
### Features
* Todos (courtesy of the [`todonotes`][todonotes_docs] package)
* For more details see also [this excellent blog post][todonotes_blog]
* Todos are hidden by declaring the `final` option (see below)
* Convenience control sequences
* Take much of the repetitive drudgery out of typing up psets.
### Options
```
\documentclass[]{problemset}
```
* `final`: Suppresses the Todo list, hides all inline todos, and loads graphics.
* `worksheet`: Hides solutions and prints problems on separate sheets—useful for self-testing.
* `expand`: Includes a page break after each solution. This is sometimes a neater, if less compact, presentation.
## Control Sequences
### Header
`\header[]{}{}{}{}`: Creates the
document header. `shortname` is an optional string that appears to the left
of the page number. (Numbering is omitted on the first page).
Example:
```
\heading[Romer]{Jacob Romer}{Math 427. Partial Differential Equations}{Assignment 6}{November 28, 2012}
```
### Problem
`\problem[]`: Marks the beginning of a problem, with optional descriptive text.
```
\problem[5.3.8 (5pts)]
. . .
Is $\lambda = 0$ an eigenvalue?
```
### Solution
`\solution{}`:
Encloses the solution, which can be hidden with the `worksheet` document class
option.
* **NB**: This is incompatible with `verbatim`, which can't be directly
called from within a control sequence.
A workaround is to include `verbatim` text by keeping it in a separate file (e.g., `filename.tex`) and using `\input{filename}` to include this in your solution.
Alternatively, experiment with `\texttt{}`, which is often an adequate substitute for short bits of code.
### Formula Environment
`\begin{formula}[]`:
Takes an optional argument for a named equation. Otherwise names formulas sequentially (Formula 1, Formula 2, etc.).
```
\begin{formula}[Rayleigh Quotient]
\lambda = \frac{\eval{-p(x) \phi(x)\phi'(x)}{a}{b} + \Int{p(x) [\phi'(x)]^2 - q(x) [\phi(x)]^2}{a}{b}}{\Int{[\phi(x)]^2\sigma(x)}{a}{b}}
\end{formula}
```
which produces
### Mathtable Environment
`\begin{mathtable}[]{}`:
Essentially a `booktabs`-style table, but DRYed up for entries in math mode. This combines the syntatic simplicity of using the `array` package for your table with the prettiness of the `booktabs` table.
```
\begin{mathtable}[caption=true,title={Some Greek letters},label={one}]{ccc}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\midrule
\a & \b & \c \\
\d & \ep & \t \\
\end{mathtable}
```
which produces
### Convenience Macros
* Greek Letters
* Theorem-Style Environments
* Mathematical Symbols
* Calculus
* Probability and Statistics
* Linear Algebra
* Vector Calculus
