8/28/08: As (I think) I mentioned in class, when you have a diagram it is not necessary to typset your figure, you can just draw it in afterwards. What I forgot to mention is how to insert vertical space so you can do this. The best way to do this is to use ""
\vskip{2cm}
" to insert a 2cm vertical space (adjust as needed). I also forgot to mention equation mode. If you use "$$" instead of "$" to delimit a math mode section, LaTeX will put it on a line by itself and center it.
