This simple LaTeX homework template consists of a class file and shortcut package that contain best-practice document style settings and shortcut commands (respectively). Designed specifically for typesetting solutions to math and computer science problem sets that will be graded online, this homework template is intended to make typing solutions as quick, painless, and visually consistent as possible.

In particular, the class is designed to be consistent with best-practices from the authoritative [_Elements of Typographic Style_ by Robert Bringhurst](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Typographic_Style). By default, the text is set in the [Palatino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatino) typeface, created by the late [Hermann Zapf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Zapf) (who worked with Don Knuth to create some of the first [digital typefaces for setting mathematics](http:https://ultrasparky.org/school/pdf/DanielRhatigan_Dissertation.pdf)). Palatino (via the `mathpazo` package with the `osf` option) was chosen specifically because it uses [old-style figures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_figures) for numbers outside of math mode, as opposed to the typical—improper—lining figures, which should ideally be exclusively reserved for setting math. It also contains tasteful small caps for setting the section headers that title each problem. Moreover, Palatino is a splendid face in general.
