PS/EPS Converter - Install this high quality postscript printer driver following the instructions contained in the link. Using this, you can convert any format figures/documents into a PS or EPS format. In combination with the "ps2pdf" utility that comes with Ghostscript (another opensource utility) you can convert any document into PDF format very easily.

SVG Editor - Another excellent free SVG (scalable vector graphics) editor (for creating figures). Some cool features and direct export to EPS format.

MikTex - the link for a Tex (MikTex) archive for Windows. Follow the instructions as listed in the installation .pdf for easy installation and configuration

TeXnicCenter - a very good LaTex editor

Equation Editor (Windows style) - generate LaTex codes for equations typed in a Windows style equation editor interface

LyX for Windows - The link below is for installing the Lyx document processor.

Dr. Andrew W . Moore's (Carnegie Mellon University) website - It has a series of tutorials covering a wide range of topics that are very useful for signal and image analysis.  Some topics include: statistical data mining, hidden Markov Models and pattern recognition techniques.  A very valuable, one stop statistical data analysis resource to learn new topics or refresh.

Knovel - Provides a one-stop source for finding answers to science and engineering questions.

School of Graduate Studies Dissertation, Thesis, or Major Research Paper (MRP) - Anyone who is planning to get started on writing their thesis, should click the link below for Ryerson's Thesis Writing Guidelines

Irfan View - View all different types of images using one package.  Over 30 image types supported (including .pgm, j2k (JPEG 2000 format).  Very easy to use graphical user interface. 

EMACS - An excellent multifunction editor. Very useful for editing various kinds of files with syntax highlighting. Follow the link and download the precompiled Windows version "emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz".

Xfig - One of the best drawing programs; a good companion for creating *.eps files for LaTex documents. Xfig is basically developed to work with Unix like systems. With "Cygwin" (Linux-like environment under windows) now it is possible to run Xfig from within windows. Follow the link below to install and configure Cygwin + Xfig.

KDE + Cygwin - With the combination of the "KDE" desktop environment and Cygwin you could virtually have a complete graphical "Linux environment" under windows and use most of the tools (Xfig inclusive) that were developed for Unix like systems. Follow the below link to install "Cygwin" and "KDE"
