Have fun with latex!

 

Here are some basic steps to follow to get started .  First, download TeX Installer below and run it. Follow the instructions and you should have TeX installed. I suggest letting the installer do what it wants to do and put things where it thinks they should be. Now you are ready to make your own beautiful mathematics with latex. Use the Tikz manual and the not so short intro manual as you need them. Also, I can answer most of your questions too.

You'll need the file bibliography.bib and amsplain.bst in order for the references to work right on the papertemplate.tex file. First run the PDFLaTeX command, then the BiBTeX command, then the PDFLaTeX command twice more, then finally view the .pdf file and check if the references are listed correctly.
