LATEX and WinEdt for MA4053

1. Item 1
(a) Subitem 1 of first item
(b) Subitem 2 of first item
2. Item 2
The standard labelling in itemize and enumerate can be overridden by input
of the form \item[New label], and this is how the user defined labels are
given in the description environment. Two further list types are provided
by the template which are both variants on the enumerate environment. One
is alist which labels the items (a), (b) etc., and the other is ilist which
labels the items (i), (ii) etc. These save having to type \item[(a)] etc.
The center environment and quote environment are useful for displaying
tables and quotes in text documents. To produce tables use the tabular
environment. This begins with a command like \begin{tabular}[cr|lr|],
where the letters l, c and r indicate the number of columns and whether
the entries should be left justified, centred or right justified. An upright line
indicates that there should be a vertical line separating the columns. To
insert horizontal lines use \hline at the end of the preceding line of entries.
The entries themselves are separated into the relevant columns by & in the
input, and the end of the line is indicated by \\. For example the input
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|lr} \hline
{\large Centred} & {\large left} & {\large right} \\
{\small centred} & {\small left} & {\small right} \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
produces
Centred left right
centred left right
Not enclosing the tabular environment in the center environment will cause
the table to be set in the middle of the current paragraph.
The most important environments that you will need for the project write
up are the so-called theorem-like environments. Since it is impossible to know
from the outset what is required in a given document in terms of theorems,
propositions etc., there is a means by which the user specifies the types
required in the preamble of the document. I have done this in the given
template, creating the following environments:
