3. PREFACE
This book covers LaTex and its concepts. This book is presented in simple and
easily understandable manner. This book is especially useful for graduate level
students and faculties. There is a shortage of books available in explaining
fundamentals of LaTeX concepts and Thesis writing.
This book is structured to cover the fundamentals and key aspects of LaTeX.
Each chapter is adequately supported with necessary information.
In addition to the LaTeX, we have made an attempt to familiarize modern days
communicative / interactive methods and systems (GMAIL Creation, Blogging,
WhatApp, Skype and Smule.) in a simple and lucid style. In addition to these, we
have added the basics of windows PC and command prompt.
