These are the LaTeX source files to notes for a lecture with the title "Lattices and Convex Bodies" given by me (Nicolai Hähnle) in the Fall of 2013.
The lecture will cover topics in the geometry of numbers from a decidedly algorithmic perspective, and will focus more heavily on integer programming later on.
I am not producing regularly updated PDF snapshots for public consumption.
That said, if you have a somewhat recent standard LaTeX installation (as you should, if you are seriously interested in mathematics), simply running
$ pdflatex lattices
should do the trick.
You also need to run bibtex if you want to see the bibliography.
This is all very standard. If you do get compilation errors, drop me a line. (But first make sure it's not just a missing package!)
If you notice any mistakes or find some way to improve the text or illustrations, you are cordially invited to send your improvements to me so that they can be incorporated -- with proper attribution, of course.
I prefer the use of Github features, but I'm also happy to receive an email with a link to a public git repository hosted elsewhere, or a patch.

Among other things, this means that yes, you may take e.g. illustrations from the book and use them in your own work. However, (a) you must give proper attribution by naming me as its original author and (b) you must make your derivative work available under the same or similar license terms.
