Polygons

Here are some triangles with labels.

Here are some regular polygons, drawn using the foreach command for loops. n=3 n=4 n=5

n=6

n=7

n=8

The TikZ manual has examples of how to draw pretty much any type of shape or diagram you might come up with. In particular, theres a list of cool available node shapes starting on p.435. (Forbidden sign, clouds, magnifying glass, starburst, etc.)

Subgroup Lattices

There is supposed to be a Tik Z library (graphs) for typesetting graphs. However, I found it extremely dicult to get this library to work correctly (or at all!). As a result, the examples here are made using the standard Tik Z nodes and lines. S3 (123) (13) (23) (13)

Coxeter graphs and Dynkin diagrams

Finite Coxeter groups can be classied by their Coxeter graphs. An Bn Cn Dn 4 4 E7 E8 F4 H3 H4 E6 I2 (m) 5 5 m 4

If is an irreducible root system of rank , its Dynkin diagram is one of the following ( vertices in each case): A

E6 E7 E8 F4

G2

Tableau(x)

Heres a standard Young tableau. 1 2 3 7 Heres a domino tableau. 3 1 6 4 2 5 4 6 9 5 8 12 10 11

Both of these images use macros from Tyson Gern youll need to copy these from the header section.

Graphs of Functions
x2 2

Heres a simple graph of the function f (x) = x 3 2 1 2 1 1 2 3

+ 1.

Heres a graph of a piecewise linear function, with background grid. 2 1 2 1 1 2 3 1 2 3

Heres a graph of f (x) = sin(x) cos(x), with a shaded region. y 1 f (x) = sin(x) cos(x)

x

5 4

3 2

Heres another graph, this time with an annoyingly starred region. See p.393 of the Tik Z manual for a list of patterns. 10 8 6 4 2 x 1 2 3 4 f (x) = 6 4 sin(x) y

Heres a function and its tangent line. This graph has a legend. y 1 ln(2) x 1 2 f (x) = ln(x) y =x1

Here are some various blank axes for a student to draw a graph on. 4 3 2 1 x 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 y

Vector Diagrams / Root Systems

Here are some 2d root systems. y 2 = 2 = 1 + 2

Type B2

1 = 1 2

y 2 = 22

Type C2

= 21 x 1 = 1 2

y 2 = 0, 23 = 0, cos

Type I2 (6)

1 =

1 , 23 2

= sin

, cos

Here are some root systems in 3d, using tikz-3dplot. z

Type A2

1 = 1 2 y = 1 3 x z s1 2 2 = 2 3

Type D3

3 = 2 + 3

1 = 1 2

= 1 + 2

x 2 = 2 3

12

z Type B3

3 = 3

1 = 1 2

= 1 + 2

x 2 = 2 3 z

3 = 23 Type C3

1 = 1 2 = 21 x 2 = 2 3 y

Adding extra space in tables

Heres a table with a little extra height added to the columns and extra padding added in the cells: x cos(x) sin(x) 0 1 0 /4 2/2 2/2 /2 0 1 3/4 2/2 2/2 1 0
