[nfbcs] documents describing algorithms

[Littlefield, Tyler]

I believe that as long as your latex is clean enough to read, providing 
that should be just fine. It's by far easy to read and I tend to prefer 
it to whatever comes out of Math ML (It's easier to hear 2+2 than it is 
2 plus 2), where math ML likes to try to spell out specific symbols. 
Just personal preference, but LaTex is a pretty common medium.
