2. What is LaTex
• LaTeX pronounced as “tech”
• not like latex gloves!
• LaTeX is a document preparation system for producing
professional-looking documents, it is not a word processor.

3. Introduction
• TeX is essentially a Markup Language (like
HTML, XML and RTF)
• TeX written by Donald Knuth in 70´s
– A revolution in typesetting
• Latex is an extension of TeX
– Macro packages to make TeX easier to use

4. Latex vs. Word Processors
• High typeset quality
• Easy to include math formulas
• Source file format is not bounded to a particular
OS or platform
• Latex implementations exists for all platforms
(DOS, Windows, Unices,..)
• Latex is free

5. Latex vs. Word Processors
• De facto standard for scientific publishing
• Very few bugs
• Good for large documents
• Can run even on 386 PC
• Not very easy to learn

6. Getting Started
– Windows
• TeXnicCenter
• proTeXt
– Linux
• TeXLive
– Mac
• LyX & MacTeX

7. Macro
package
How LaTeX works?
• TeX is a typesetter
– You write and TeX will place it on the page
Input

Tex
Output

LaTex

8. Output Formats
• .dvi Device Independent
• .ps Post Script
• .pdf PDF
• .rtf Rich Text Format
• .html HTML
• .xml XML

9. How to Install ProText on Windows

23. A Simple LaTeX Document
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
This is some sample text.
end{document}

24. A Simple LaTeX Document
documentclass{article}
begin{document}

end{document}
This is some sample text.

25. Parts of a LaTeX Document
• First line of all LaTeX documents
• Specifies the type of the document
documentclass

{letter}
Basic Classes

26. Parts of a LaTeX Document
Start with begin{. . .}
End with end{. . .}

begin{document}
• Use for customizing the formatting

28. Body of Text
• Start with begin{document}
• End with end{document}
• Typesetting Text
– or newline and newpage
– Bold textbf{ITER} or bf

– Underline underline{…………}

40. Figures in LaTex
•Image should be in these files:-
PNG
JPEG
GIF
PDF

41. Figure format
documentclass{article}
usepackage{graphicx}
begin{figure}[h]
centering
includegraphics[width=1textwidth]{image name}
caption{Here is my image}
label{image-myimage}
end{figure}

42. Mathematics command
$$  for Mathematics Symbols
^  used for Power
_  used for Indices
frac{nmuerator}{denomenator}  used for Fraction
sqrt{---}  for Square root
sum  for Summation
int  for integration
$Delta$ =∆
$Pi$ = ∏
$Sigma$ = ∑
$Omega$ = Ω

43. Mathematics in LaTex
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
$$sqrt{y^2}$$
begin{eqnarray}
23
a & = & b + c
& = & y - z
end{eqnarray}
$$sum_{x=1}^5 y^z$$
end{document}

44. Mathematics in LaTex
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
$$sqrt{y^2}$$
begin{eqnarray}
23
a & = & b + c
& = & y - z
end{eqnarray}
$$sum_{x=1}^5 y^z$$
end{document}

47. Advantages of LaTeX
• Professional typesetting
– Best output
• It is the standard for scientific documents
• Processing Mathematical (& other) symbols
• Meaning based structuring (rather than appearance)
• Knowledgeable and helpful user group
• Its FREE!
• Platform independent

48. Disadvantages of using LaTeX
• “Hard to write disorganized documents”
• Learning Curve
• Customizing is tedious.

49. Conclusions
• Latex is optimal for master and phd thesis
• Mathematical formulae are easy.
• Consider converting Postscript files to PDF (more
widespread in Windows world) and to conserve
space.
