A LaTeX Class for UC Mathematics and Statistics students.

This class automatically makes available the following packages:

• amsmath
• amssymb
• amsthm
• mathtools

These packages were chosen because they represent the "standard" imports when writing a mathematical document.

UCMaths also makes available enumitem, array, calc and ifthen, because they are used internally/set default styles.

Several macros over those from the above packages are also included, so make writing the majority of undergraduate course content easier. These are:

• \argmin
• \argmax
• \abs{}
• \norm{}
• \floor{}
• \ceil{}
• \mlv{} (multi-letter variables)
• \diff (d for derivatives)
• \divides
• \sigfig{} (only a number is required)
• \infinity (an alias for \infty)
• \naturals
• \integers
• \rationals
• \reals
• \complex
• \quaternions
• \true
• \false
• \union
• \intersection
• \set{}
• \comp{} (compliment)
• \mat[]{} (optional argument is a superscript label)
• \transpose
• \inverse
• \inversetranspose
• \pseudoinverse

We also make available by default the environments theorem, lemma, corollary, and definition. It is worth noting that \epsilon and \varepsilon have been reversed, and \emptyset is now an alias for \varnothing. If you need the old empty set symbol, it is now \slashedzero.

The class should take care of most of your styling needs. The basic structure of a file should look like

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, twosided, signature]{ucmaths}

\title{Assignment}
\author{Eve McCodecracker}
\studentid{12345678}
\coursecode{MATH123}
\coursetitle{Maths and Stats}
\due{5pm on Friday 1 January 2134}

\coverinfo{
    Something
}

\begin{document}
    \maketitle
    Something
\end{document}

The class options are:

• twosided, which inserts a blank page between the coversheet and the main content, so that when printing two-sided the coversheet is single-sided.
• signature inserts a signature line at the bottom of each (non-cover) page.
• a4paper and 12pt are as for article, recommended for New Zealand.

The preamble declarations are:

• title, setting the title of the document (e.g. Assignment 1, Project, etc.). Required
• author, the student's name. This can be skipped by assignment authors.
• studentid, the student's UC Student ID. This can also be skipped by assignment authors.
• coursecode, to specify the course this is for. Required.
• coursetitle, the "natural" name of the course. Required.
• due, the date the project is due. Required.
• coverinfo, some extra details to put on the cover sheet. Optional.
• groupsize, which specifies how many people are in the group. Optional, unless the groups are larger than one. Separate Authors and Student IDs with \and.

\maketitle will insert the coversheet and title. If you want to use your own title, use \oldmaketitle. To insert the cover page by itself, use \makecoverpage.
