The Putnam Exam is a nationwide test given yearly to undergraduates (all majors are welcome) in the United States and Canada. It is voluntary, and problems are presented with clever and ingenious solutions. Some students have found general solutions, which have led to publications.
Students and faculty in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences have access to excellent computing facilities, including mainframes and personal computers running a broad selection of software.
The Daniel E. Noble Science Library, a member of the Center for Research Libraries, has a very good holding of mathematical texts and journals, its operations are fully computerized to aid in literature searches.
Introduction
There are ways to secure your homepage (or a part of it!) by using the built-in password protection mechanisms. In the school, we use the APACHE Web Server. The following describes ways to secure your homepage on the Math server. The same can be followed for the Mathpost server or any other server where APACHE is installed and configured.
Using User Authentication
There are two ways of restricting access to documents:
The following steps will guide you how to use the new math page header.
The following LaTeX file is a Sample Presentation Template that could be used by students to create their own presentations.
This Latex file should be compiled with pdflatex, for this reason, it is recommended that you convert the figures in your presentation to pdf. Postscript files (.ps and .eps) will not compile properly when pdflatex is used. You may use commands like "convert" or "eps2pdf" (in linux) to convert your figures.
An SSL VPN stands for Secure Sockets Layer virtual private network. SSL VPN allows the users to remotely access the restricted network resources via a secure and authenticated pathway. It give the appearance to the user that the user is connected to a local network irrespective of his/her geographical location.
ASU offers SSL VPN to all of its users. A user can download SSL VPN from myapps.asu.edu.
Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over unsecure channels. It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp, but also replaces telnet.
Additionally, ssh provides secure X connections and secure forwarding of arbitrary TCP connections.
