Overview

This short, well-written book covers the material essential for learning LATEX without any unnecessary detail. It discusses incisive examples that teach LATEX in a powerful yet abbreviated fashion, including the following crucial features: numerous examples of widely used mathematical expressions; complete documents illustrating the creation of articles, reports, and overhead projector slides; troubleshooting tips to help you pinpoint an error; details of how to set up a bibliography and an index; information about LATEX resources available on the Internet. LATEX has become an extremely popular typesetting system and is widely used throughout the sciences. Students may use it to typeset reports and theses (particularly graduate students in any mathematics or computer science discipline).The authors cover LATEX 2e, the latest standard version at the time of publication. An appendix discusses the differences between 2e and the older version, 2.09.

Editorials

American Mathematical Monthly

A clear, simple, up-to-date, sometimes amusing introduction to LATEX β€” brief yet surprisingly comprehensive. Covers basics, graphics, bibliographies, indexes, slides, electronic resources, differences between "old" and "new" LATEX, etc. Rich with brief but pertinent examples.

Journal of Mathematical Psychology

This booklet is an excellent source for learning LATEX. The authors target the beginner and focus on the most essential commands. The book instructs mainly through the use of examples. Despite the deceptively reader-friendly approach, the authors nonetheless quickly tackle difficult mathematical typesetting problems.
