Latex - ?

LATEX is a typesetting system that is very suitable for producing scientificand mathematical documents of high typographical quality. It is alsosuitable for producing all sorts of other documents, from simple letters tocomplete books.

It is free of cost. No need to buy any softwares !!!

It is portable—sticks to the standard commands and everyone canread and exchange documents

Very useful for listing source codes

You can use the editor of your choice. You can even use MicrosoftWord !!

It is simply the best package for documents containing mathematics

Professionally crafted layouts are available, which make a documentreally look as if “printed.”

Difference From Word Processors

LATEX files are portable while .doc files vary from system to system

Choosing fonts is easier in Word

Typesetting is better (atleast Mathematical)

Its not WYSIWYG ( ? )

LATEX Files

The input for LaTeX is a plain ASCII text file.

Article, Report, Book etc are the classes available. This ppt is madeby using Beamer class

Layout

Various Packages are available like graphics. \usepackage{}

Various Packages are available like graphics. \usepackage{}Each document starts with \begin{document} and ends with\end{document}

Examples

\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}\usepackage{graphics}

Compiling

latex <filename>.tex - this creates a dvi file

Compiling

dvipdf <filename>.dvi - this creates a pdf

Use escape sequences for special characters

Maths using LATEX

All inline(?) Mathematical Equations start with $ and with $

Maths using LATEX

Rest start with $$ and end with $$

Maths using LATEX

Rest start with $$ and end with $$

Some examples

$z=\frac{x}{y}$ gives z = xy

$z=\sqrt{x} $ gives z =√

$ \lim {n to \infty} \sum {k=1}n̂ \frac{1}{k2̂} = \frac{\pi2̂}{6}$gives limn→∞

∑nk=1

1k2 = π

Two types of lists - Unordered(?) and Ordered(?)

Unordered - Itemize and Ordered - Enumerate

Various options are available to customize

Example

1 First

firstsecond

2 Second

Tables

Start and end with \begin{tabular}{} and \end{tabular}

Tables
