  1. Create an Overleaf account.

  2. The basic document.

    Using Overleaf create a new project called assessment. enter the basic LaTeX document information (shown below). . Do the following in the document:

    The basic document:

    \documentclass[letterpaper, 11pt]{article}
    \usepackage{fullpage}

    \author{Your Name}
    \date{\today}

    In Overleaf's "Menu", click the "Source" icon in the "Download" section to download a zip containing the project's tex file. Click the pdf icon to download the pdf file. Submit them as assessment.zip and assessment.pdf.

  3. Mathematical formulae

    Create a New Project called formula that contains the following items. You only need to reproduce the text in the boxes, not the boxes themselves or the bullet list describing them.

    As in the previous part, download the zip and pdf and submit them as formula.zip and formula.pdf.
