USBTEX and friends: portable software applications

I USB memory stick — not simply for data!

I Provides a uniform TEX environment

I Uses components that run under Linux, Mac OS X, and

Windows

†

I Very easy to install: download, unzip, save to USB stick

USBTEX is intended for Windows, although it uses components that run

on other systems and have the same “look and feel” everywhere.

2008 Annual Meeting of the ISMAA

What’s included?

MAT 3702: Problem Set 3 1 Jed Shumaker & Tim Russell

Thus, by Theorem 10.4, X is a sufficient estimator of θ.
