LaTeX is high-quality Open Source typesetting
software that produces professional prints and PDF
files. However, as LaTeX is a powerful and complex tool,
getting started can be intimidating. There is no
official support and certain aspects such as layout
modifications can seem rather complicated. It may seem
more straightforward to use Word or other WYSIWG
programs, but once you've become acquainted, LaTeX's
capabilities far outweigh any initial difficulties. This
book guides you through these challenges and makes
beginning with LaTeX easy. If you are writing
Mathematical, Scientific, or Business papers, or have a
thesis to write, then this is the perfect book for you.
LaTeX Beginner's Guide offers you a practical
introduction to LaTeX with plenty of step-by-step
examples. Beginning with the installation and basic
usage, you will learn to typeset documents containing
tables, figures, formulas, and common book elements like
bibliographies, glossaries, and indexes and go on to
managing complex documents and using modern PDF
features. It's easy to use LaTeX, when you have LaTeX
Beginner's Guide to hand.
