Class Details

Do you want to impress your professors and fellow students with beautifully formatted papers, theses and books? Then you should learn LaTeX, an elegant and free software suite for typesetting and document preparation. It is especially good at formatting math, hence its popularity among mathematicians and those in the natural sciences. But the LaTeX suite also includes a number of compelling features for “the rest of us” who use relatively little or even no math in our writing: features that include powerful tools for managing references, formatting tables and figures, the creation of presentation slides, and built-in PDF file generation. This “how-to” course is geared towards students in any field; those in the social sciences, such as economics, should find it especially useful. You don’t have to be a computer expert to learn LaTeX, and no programming experience is required-the only two prerequisites are a modest degree of computer literacy, and an appreciation for the beauty of the printed page.
