############ A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PACKAGE
############
###########################################################################
Many conference series have adopted the same standards for electronic
publication and have joined the Joint Accelerator Conferences Website
(JACoW) collaboration for the publication of their proceedings.
The jacow.cls class is used for submissions to the proceedings in LaTeX
in one of the 19 conferences in this series. The documents in this package
describe the common requirements for the submission of papers to these
conferences. Please consult individual conference information for page
limits, method of electronic submission, etc. It is not intended that
this should be a tutorial in word processing; the aim is to explain the
particular requirements for electronic publication at www.JACoW.org.
The package consists of the following files

Summary description: Light weight template for creating school submissions using LaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember when I first started out with LaTeX, as a student, it was very
new and challenging just to make a simple nicely typeset document.
We've all seen documents that have a problem numbering sections, where
the title would be 2 Problem instead of Problem 2.
This is a package that makes it easy for students to hand in a formatted
document in LaTeX. It just creates a couple of commands that typeset the
document with nice headers (problem numbers and part problem numbers).
If you are a teacher, this package works just as well for creating
exercises!

Summary description: Macros for mathematics that make the code more

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspired by the physics package on CTAN, this package defines some
simple macros for mathematical notation which make the code more
readable and/or allow flexibility in typesetting material. At the
moment it only contains the few macros I could gather from my own
projects. I will be on the lookout for more nontrivial pieces of
notation that could benefit from semantic markup.
