% Begin the lecture with a line like the following:
\begin{document}

% Add a header:
% Arguments: 1st: name
%            2nd: first problem
%            3rd: last problem
\begin{problems}{Seth Gilbert}{3}{5}

% Now begin doing a problem
    \begin{problem}
        Let us pretend that the first problem on this problem set,
        \#3, involves explaining how to write-up problems using the
        6895.sty latex file.  In this case, begin the document
        normally, and use the 6895.sty package.  The next step, is to
        begin the problems.  This is accomplished by:
        \begin{description}
          \item [\TT]
            \texttt{$\backslash$begin\{problems\}\{name\}\{first
            problem num\}\{last problem num\}}
        \end{description}
        At this point, we are ready to actually write-up problems.
        You the following problem environment:
        \begin{description}
          \item[\TT] \texttt{$\backslash$begin\{problem\}}
          \item[\TT] \texttt{$\backslash$end\{problem\}}
        \end{description}
        You can also do subproblems similarly:
        \begin{description}
          \item[\TT] \texttt{$\backslash$begin\{problempart\}}
          \item[\TT] \texttt{$\backslash$end\{problempart\}}
        \end{description}
        To reset the subcounter counter, either embed the subproblem
        environment within a problem environment, or use:
        \begin{description}
          \item[\TT] \texttt{$\backslash$resetsubprobs}
        \end{description}
    \end{problem}

    \begin{problem}
        Now we pretend that problem 4 is advice on writing up problem
        sets.  First, see the advice on writing scribe notes.  As in
        scribe notes, use theorem/proof environments to make clear
        what you are trying to prove (and which part is actually the
        proof, and not just an overview).  This is important.
        Otherwise, it will be quite hard for me to determine what you
        have proved and how you are proving it!  Similarly, use all
        the other nice macros in 6895.sty.  Also, it is recommended
        that every problem include a figure.  This makes it much
        easier to understand what you are trying to prove (and might
        even help you understand how to prove it.)  This can be drawn
        with xfig, or handed in separately.
    \end{problem}

    \begin{problem}
        Now we pretend that problem 5 is more instructions on
        problems.  In order to submit a problem, e-mail the latex
        source and postscript to \emph{sethg@mit.edu}.  The files
        should have a unique name.  That is, name the files:
        \emph{yourname\_uniquenumber.tex} and
        \emph{yourname\_uniquenumber.ps}.  If you are in Singapore,
        e-mail these to the Singapore TA.  Any other hardcopy
        materials should be left at my office NE43-371 (or in
        Singapore at the TAs office).
    \end{problem}
            
% Then wrap up
\end{problems}
