Synopsis

LaTeX is an extremely popular typesetting system which is widely used in the sciences. This short, well-written book covers the material essential for learning LaTeX, without any extraneous detail. Incisive examples teach readers in a powerful, yet abbreviated fashion and complete documents are included to illustrate the creation of articles, reports, presentations, and posters. Also included are troubleshooting tips, to help readers pinpoint an error, and advice about how to set up indexes and bibliographies. In this second edition, additional material has been included on the American Mathematical Society packages for typesetting additional mathematical symbols and multi-line displays; the BiBTeX program for creating bibliographies; the Beamer package for creating presentations; and the a0poster class for creating posters.
