\section{\label{sec:intro} Introduction}

High-level overview of what you'll discuss

\section{\label{sec:review} Review of . . .}

Review of material from previous lecture(s), if necessary.  This is to make
this transcription self-contained for the reader.

\section{\label{sec:main} [main section]}

Well-written, organized overview of the material, going into at least as much
depth as the lecture, or a little more if desired or necessary.  Organize with
subsections, use figures and tables, etc.  Cite any sources you use besides
the text.  I prefer a numbering citation system, e.g.~[1].

\subsection{\label{sec:subsec} [example subsection]}

etc. etc.

\begin{figure}[h]

\caption{\label{fig:example} [example figure: could be picture, pseudocode,
etc.]}
\end{figure}

\subsection{\label{sec:anotherex} [another example subsection]}

etc. etc., which leads us to the following theorem.

\begin{theorem}
example theorem, if relevant to the material.  \\

\proof If the proof is interesting and can be given in less than a page,
consider giving it here.  If it too long for a complete treatment but the main
ideas are interesting, give a proof sketch, replacing the text
{\bf Proof} with {\bf Proof Sketch}, using the 
\verb+\proofsketch+ macro in \LaTeX.

You may omit any uninteresting or trivial proofs.  Always terminate a proof
with a QED symbol, such as a filled-in box.
\qed
\label{thm:example}
\end{theorem}

\section*{References}

Only include this if you cite external sources.  There is no need to cite the
textbook.  Use the \verb+\bibliography+ command if you use \LaTeX.
Alphabetize your references.
