The goal of this assignment is to familiarize yourself with the library resources available to you as a graduate student at UCSC and the use of BiBTeX to automatically insert citations and generate a bibliography in a LaTeX document.

What to do:

1. Use the electronic resources of the Science & Engineering Library and your natural detective skills to:
   • Find the first journal article published by the ACM that mentions "Turing Machines."
   • Find the first journal article published by IEEE which uses the term "VLSI."
   • Find the first published article to use the term "human genome."
   • Find the first journal articles published by Professors Helmbold and Schlag (not together); include the inspec link for these articles in your references.
   • Find the most recent articles which cite the two articles you just found by Professors Helmbold and Schlag.
   • Find something published on Hidden Markov Models that we don't have at UCSC and describe the simplest way to obtain it.
   • Find a conference paper we have in print on Monte Carlo simulation.

2. Once you have gathered this information,
   • Create a bibliographic database using the BiBTeX format containing the publications.
   • Create a short LaTeX document containing \cite and \bibliography commands with text that somehow artfully cites all the publications you found in part 1. No more than one citation per sentence.
   • Use LaTeX and BiBTeX on the document file to format the document and generate the list of references.

How to submit it:

Turn in a hardcopy of the document at the beginning of class on Wednesday October 30.
