Introduction to LaTeX

Introduction to LaTeX

LaTeX is a free typesetting program, primarily used for compiling professional research papers, articles, presentations, letters, and books. It is especially useful for the integration of mathematical formulas and equations and statistical output in ways that allow more control compared to popular word processing programs; however, compared to these other word processors, there is a steeper learning curve associated with learning the LaTeX language necessary to compile documents. This workshop is aimed at users new to LaTeX: we will address what LaTeX is and how it is most useful; introduce the structure of LaTeX documents, including how to start a document, use packages, and compile code; and provide an overview of basic formatting, document layout, and the creation of figures, tables, and equations; among other topics. Please note that you should already have LaTeX installed if you plan to follow along during this workshop as it can take a good deal of time to download and install; please also have a text editor of your choice installed (We recommend TeXStudio).
