 INTRODUCTION
• LaTeX is a document preparation system. A LATEX
document is a plain text file with a .tex file extension
• When writing, the writer uses plain text as opposed to
the formatted text found in WYSIWYG ("what you see
is what you get") word processors like Microsoft
Word, LibreOffice Writer and Apple Pages. Here the
writer uses markup tagging conventions to define the
general structure of a document (such as article, book,
and letter), to stylise text throughout a document (such
as bold and italics), and to add citations and cross-
references.
 EVOLUTION
• LaTeX was originally written in the early 1980s by Leslie
Lamport at SRI International. The current version is
LaTeX2e (stylised as LATEX2ε). LaTeX is free
software and is distributed under the LaTeX Project
Public License (LPPL).
• LaTeX started as a writing tool for mathematicians and
computer scientists, but from early in its development
it has also been taken up by scholars who needed to
write documents that include complex math
expressions or non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic,
Sanskrit and Chinese.
 Applications
• LaTeX is widely used in academia for the communication and
publication of scientific documents in many fields, like
mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering,
chemistry, physics, economics, linguistics, quantitative
psychology, philosophy, and political science
• It also has a prominent role in the preparation and
publication of books and articles that contain complex
multilingual materials, such as Sanskrit and Greek
• LaTeX can be used as a standalone document preparation
system or as an intermediate format
• LaTeX handles the content side for document processing for
any kind of document.
 INSTALLATION
• Before writing in LATEX one has to install the
required libraries for the computer to understand
the scripts.
• If we are running on a Mac or windows system
this is accomplished by installing MiKTEX1
• if we’re running a Linux system this is already
installed.
• After installing MiKTEX we will now need to
install a suitable LATEX editor (a shell program) to
write the LATEX scripts.
 USEFUL COMMANDS
• Font Effects
\textit{words in italics}
\textsl{words slanted}
\textsc{words in smallcaps}
\textbf{words in bold}
\texttt{words in teletype}
\textsf{sans serif words}
\textrm{roman words}
\underline{underlined words}
words in italics
words slanted
words in smallcaps
words in bold
words in teletype
sans serif words
roman words
underlined words
 Text formatting commands
• Coloured Text
{\color{colour_name}text} to produce
Red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow and white .
• Font Sizes
{\tiny tiny words} tiny words {\scriptsize scriptsize words}
scriptsize words {\footnotesize footnotesize words}
footnotesize words {\small small words} small words
{\normalsize normalsize words} normalsize words
{\large large words} large words {\Large Large words}
Large words {\LARGE LARGE words} LARGE words
{\huge huge words} huge words
 Text formatting commands
• Lists
\begin{enumerate}
\item First thing
\item Second thing
\begin{itemize}
\item A sub-thing
\item Another sub-thing
\end{itemize}
\item Third thing
\end{enumerate}

The list should look like this:

1. First thing
2. Second thing
• A sub-thing
• Another sub-thing
3. Third thing
 Tables related commands
• Tables
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
Apples & Green \\
Strawberries & Red \\
Oranges & Orange \\
\end{tabular}
would produce
Apples Green
Strawberries Red
Oranges Orange
 Mathematical commands
• Inserting Equations
\begin{equation}1+2=3\end{equation} produces: 1 + 2 = 3

• Powers & Indices

$n^2$ produces n2 (n raise to 2 )

• Fractions
$$\frac{a}{3}$$ produces: a/3(a by 3)

• Roots
$$\sqrt{y^2}$$ produces: q y 2 (square root y square)
$$\sqrt[x]{y^2}$$ produces: x q y 2 (x root y square)
