 What is latex.

LaTeX is a free software package

created in 1985 by the American computer scientist
Leslie Lamport
as an addition to the TeX typesetting system.
LaTeX was created to make it easier to produce
general-purpose books and articles within TeX.
Because LaTeX is an extension to the TeX typesetting
system, it has TeX’s ability to typeset technical
documents that contain complex mathematical
equations.
This feature made LaTeX popular with scientists and
engineers.
