Definitely better

Today is going better. I now have LaTeX working on both machines (and I figured out how to do it myself). The math problems are slowly slowly getting solved, and I had the affirming experience of asking the two best econ math wizes for help and finding that they weren't sure how to do it either. And in the process of explaining the problem to them, we all agreed that it was a very interesting question and figured out what the important "take aways" were!
