Algorithms should follow the pseudo code standard described in *Pseudocode Handout*. срр as the syntax Do NOT change the template except the answer portion. Formulas and equations should be in math mode using Latex math symbols. - Markdown math tutorial: http://tug.ctan.org/info/undergradmath/undergradmat h.pdf Two ways to enter math mode: Insert a pair of dollar signs: \$your equations go here\$. This is the inline math mode. *Notice that there is no space between the \$ and the letter*.
