Abstract:
This document is intended for new members of the Boston University
Mathematics Department. Its main objective is to help new members
obtain a quick initial familiarity with their terminals, the Campus
Network, and the UNIX Operating System, sufficient to enable them
to handle daily departmental mail and produce text documents.
The conditions of use of these machines are dictated by the Department
of Mathematics' Computer Committee. Questions of policy should be
addressed to that committee.
Conventions used in this document:
- Items in verbatim text are for the reader to type.
- Items in bold text are displayed by the computer system.
- Items in emphasized text are keywords or new vocabulary.
