What is LATEX?
A document preparation/typesetting system
A markup language
Used by the vast majority of Math and Physics journal
submissions
Used to create this presentation and the flyer for this event
Better than Microsoft Word
TEX was created by Donald Knuth
LATEX was created by Leslie Lamport to make TEX more user
friendly

Every command has this form: “command–arg1˝–arg2˝...
Examples:
“alpha gives α
“sqrt–2˝ gives√
2
“frac–x˝–2˝ gives x2
Some commands take optional parameters:“command[optional]–arg1˝–arg2˝...
“sqrt[3]–x˝ gives 3√x

commands are used in text mode (e.g. maketitle) and some

Structuring your document
Create automatically numbered sections and subsections
with “section–Name˝, “subsection–Name˝, and
“subsubsection–Name˝ or even “chapter–Name˝
If you don’t want numbering, use “section*–Name˝
Put in an automatically generated table of contents fromthese sections with “tableofcontents

Used to format blocks of text or math
Format:
