You are strongly encouraged (and will be rewarded if you do so) to prepare your assignments on LaTeX. LaTeX is freeware and runs in almost every platform and OS. Almost every Linux distribution comes together with TeTeX (an implementation of LaTeX). You can also download Kile (in case it doesn't come with your Linux distribution). Kile is an IDE for LaTeX that runs on Linux. For MacOS there are also numerous LaTeX packages - perhaps the simplest way to go is TeXShop.
