Laboratory formula sheet [89.5 kB]— for the inside front cover of your laboratory notebook

Writing a laboratory report? You may wish to start from a template file that handles a lot of the formatting issues for you. The following archives provide templates in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format. Pick the one for your platform of choice:

Laboratory report template for Macintosh — in both Word and pdfLaTeX formats
or

$TeX picture$ Laboratory report template for Windows — in both Word and LaTeX formats

Sometimes it helps to see an example or two. Professor Lynn has picked a pair of published articles and inserted comments about the formatting and the content of each. I recommend reading these over before you begin to write.

Mudd LaTeX faq A style file PNS.sty that I am developing. It has lots of handy definitions for physics, and may be useful for folks learning and/or using LaTeX A companion file to the above	Here's a very trivial document using PNS.sty, to get you up and running: `\documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[math,headers,noapple]{PNS} % other options: problems, nographics \renewcommand{\theTitle}{My Jolly Title} \begin{document}` Stuff as normal. See the actual file for what is loaded and what definitions are made. Eventually, I may document more thoroughly, but it hasn't happened yet. `\end{document}`
