problems Contains LaTeX source for a bunch of problems hwk/rec Contain particular homework and recitation subdirs, e.g. hwk1 The homework subdirs link back to the particular problems in the problems directory so the problems can live in a central location and be reused in future quarters. There are also non-problem directories such as `syllabus' for LaTeX source for other course documents. With these added to Makefile's `SUBDIRS', the source they contain is compiled and installed in their `INSTALL_DIR'. Take a look at syllabus/Makefile for the particulars, which are not too complicated. The directory `old-source' contains the LaTeX source from previous courses, since so much of the layout is standardized and much of the text is boilerplate.
