LaTeX Resources

What is LaTeX?

LaTeX is the preferred method of most mathematicians for typing up mathematics. It offers a wide array of capabilities for making both equations and figures.

What software to use?

There are a large number of LaTeX editors and several distributions. The most popular distribution for Windows is MiKTeX, for other operating systems (but also work on Windows) check out TeX Live. For editors my personal preference is Texmaker which works for all major operating systems, but there are many other great options out there.

How to learn LaTeX?

Once again, there are many great options available for free online, such as the wikibooks LaTeX page.

Do we have to use LaTeX?

I do NOT require the use of LaTeX for homework, but I do encourage it, since it helps keep the assignments cleaner and easier to read.
