2.  high typographical quality of the documents
 LaTex is de facto standard and is installed at
many universities
 Can be run on most operating systems
 Equations, citations, figures, tables, etc., can
be labeled so that cross referencing is
automated
 LaTex is free!
 LaTex is notWYSIWYG(WhatYou See IsWhatYou Get)

3.  First consider what type of paper you are writing
so that you know whose packages to install.
 Physics usesThe Physical Review Packages
 Math usesThe AMS packages, which is also useful for
writing just a general document or a Logic report.
 Chemistry even uses some specialized packages, but
much of its writing can be achieved through AMS. If
you are interested in exploring chemistry packages
further follow the link to get started. Click Here.
 Most can just be searched on Google, or found using
the MikTex package manager.

4.  Keep all of the associated files in a single
directory.
 Latex was probably originally made for linux, so
it is a little picky about path names.
 Path names should have not special symbols or
spaces. In fact the folder that you place the files
in should be kept in the root directory on a
windows machine.
 Also if you use any specialized style files they
should also be kept with the projects files.These
are .sty files.

5.  Download and run the Basic MiKTeX installer from
https://miktex.org/download
 IEEE ManuscriptTemplates for Conference
Proceedings
 https://
www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/tem
 IEEE ArticleTemplates and Instructions
 https

6.  TeX is essentially a Markup Language (like
HTML, XML and RTF)
 LaTex is an extension ofTeX
 Macro packages to makeTeX easier to use
Presentaion is based on
Troy D. Milner and Simon Cuce slides

7.  Late 1970s -> 1989: TeX by Don Knuth
 Decent typesetting by the authors!
 Same output now as in the future
 Low level, but powerful
 Frozen development
 Starting early 1980s: LaTeX by Leslie Lamport
 High level language (macros, really) forTeX
 Easy to use!
 Current version is Latex2e

8.  Some say LAY-teck
 Some say LAH-teck
 Some say LAY-tech (as in “Bach”)
 Some say LAY-tex
…
 According toWikipedia: Knuth says /tex/ (as in
Bach)
 Lamport says “whatever…”

9.  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,..)

10.  De facto standard for scientific publishing
 Very few bugs
 Good for large documents
 Can run even on 386 PC
 Not very easy to learn!

12. Your Latex File Your Bibtex File
Latex compile x3
Bibtex compile x2
Latex compile x3
Your Postscript File
dvips compile x1
Device independent
output .dvi
(a text file)

13.  Document Class
▪ There are 4 main predefined classes: article, letter,
report, book, and slides.
 Packages used
▪ Added Functionality (graphics, reference style,...).
 Main Body
▪ Text and Bibliography References.

14.  Document Class
▪ documentclass[options]{class}
▪ options = a4paper, 11pt, 12pt, 10pt, twocolumn,
landscape,...
▪ class = article, report, book,...
 Packages
▪ usepackage{package name}
▪ epsfig = insert PS pictures into the document
▪ fancyhdr = easy definition of footer and header

15.  Start with begin{document}
 End with end{document}
 TypesettingText
 or newline and newpage
 % comments
 Bold textbf{……………} or bf
 Italics emph{…………} or textit{………} or it
 Underline underline{…………} or ul

16.  Including Multiple Files
 input{filename.tex}

17.  The Physical Review package ads something
new to the title. It ads the Abstract section.
 begin{abstract}
Abstract text
 end{abstract}
 After this section you can put the make title
command.

18.  Sections
 section{…} = 1. Latex is Great
 subsection{…} = 1.1Why Latex is Great
 subsubsection{…} = 1.1.1 Reason One
 appendix - changes numbering scheme
 chapter{…} -To be used with book and report
document classes
 Titles, Authors and others
 title{…} author{…}
 footnote{…}

19.  maketitle - DisplayTitle and Author
 tableofcontents - generatesTOC
 listoftables - generates LOT
 listoffigures - generates LOF
 Labels
 label{marker} - Marker in document.
 pageref{marker} - Displays page no. of marker.
 ref{marker} - Displays section location of marker.
 Itemize
 Use either enumerate, itemize or description.
 see handout for example.

20.  Source
 begin{itemize}
 item Apple
 item Orange
 end{itemize}
 Result
 Apple
 Orange

21.  Enumerate instead of itemize gives a
numbered list
 Lists can be recursive

22.  Something between
 begin{name}
 end{name}
 Many command, for example bf affect the
text until the end of environment
 Environments can be recursive
 Examples:
 itemize, center, abstract

23.  Group is some text between { and }
 Many commands work until the end of the
group
 Code
 put {one word bf in bold} here
 Result
 put one word in bold here

24.  Environments center, flushleft, flushright
 Example
 begin{flushright}
 Right aligned
 end{flushright}
 Result
 Right aligned

26.  documentclass{article}
 title{Simple Example}
 author{Rouhollah Nabati}
 date{December 2016}
 begin{document}
 maketitle
 Hello world!
 end{document}

27.  Columns
 begin{tabular}{|…|…|}
 end{tabular}
 Rows
 & - Split text into columns
 - End a row
 hline - Draw line under row
 e.g. 123123 & 34.00 hline
Two Columns
l = automatically adjust
size, left justify
r = automatically adjust
size, right justify
p = set size
e.g p{4.7cm}
c = centre text

28.  begin{tabular}{|l|r|c|} hline
 Date & Price & Size hline
 Yesterday & 5 & big hline
 Today & 3 & small hline
 end{tabular}
Date Price Size
Yesterday 5 Big
Today 3 Small

29.  Floating objects can stop splitting of tables
and images over pages.
 begin{figure}[options]
 end{figure}
 begin{table}[options]
 end{table}
 They will now appear in the
 List of Figures (LOF) and
 List ofTables (LOT).
Options (recommendations)
h = place table here
t = place at top of page
b = place at bottom of page

33.  Put simple equation between two $
 $t=0$
 $E=mc^2$
 $n^{n-1}$

34.  You need an equation by itself.That is also
numbered.You do this with
 begin{equation}
frac{1}{N} sum_{i=1}^{n} frac{2N_i}{k_i*(k_i-1)}
 end{equation}
 If you wish to leave it unnumbered simply put
an asterisk at the end of the word equation.

47.  Latex is optimal for master and phd thesis?
 Mathematical formulae are easy.
 Use bibtex search engines
 Consider converting Postscript files to PDF
(more widespread inWindows world) and to
conserve space.

amsmath
It contains the advanced math extensions for LaTeX. The complete documentation should
be in your LaTeX distribution; the file is called amsdoc, and can be dvi or pdf. For more
information, see the chapter about Mathetics.
amssymb It adds new symbols in to be used in math mode.
amsthm
It introduces the proof environment and the theoremstyle command. For more information see
the Theoremssection.
array
It extends the possibility of LaTeX to handle tables, fixing some bugs and adding new features.
Using it, you can create very complicated and customized tables. For more information, see
the Tables section.
babel
It provides the internationalization of LaTeX. It has to be loaded in any document, and you have
to give as an option the main language you are going to use in the document. For more
information see the Internationalization section.
biblatex Advanced bibliography handling. It is the package to use for writing a thesis.
bm
Allows use of bold greek letters in math mode using the bm{...} command. This supersedes
the amsbsy package.
booktabs
provides ex-tra com-mands as well as be-hind-the-scenes op-ti-mi-sa-tion for producing tables.
Guide-lines are given as to what con-sti-tutes a good ta-ble in the package documentation.
caption Allows customization of appearance and placement of captions for figures, tables, etc.
cancel
Provides commands for striking out mathematical expressions. The syntax is
cancel{x} or cancelto{0}{x}
chemmacros Part of a bundle to typeset chemistry easily and consistent.
changepage To easily change the margins of pages. The syntax is
enumitem Adds support for arbitrarily-deep nested lists (useful for outlines). See List Structures.

51. Thank you for
your attention.
