This is an experiment. Taking a cue from Will Robertson’s work on his PhD thesis, I’m making my work public here and on my blog, http://optimalcontrol.wordpress.com/. This should help me be more accountable by letting anyone (read: my advisor) see when I am or am not working.

I’ve decided to stick with XɘTeX as my engine of choice, although I might consider LuaTeX eventually. At any rate, Will Robertson’s unicode-math has recently been added to TeX Live 2010 (currently in pretest) and I’m using it heavily.

I’m also using Philip G. Ratcliffe’s unreleased foreign and xpunctuate packages; contact him if you want the files.
