Lecture Notes This will be an introductory lecture on writing documents with LaTeX. LaTeX is a document preparation system that allows authors to typeset and print using a predefined, professional layout. LaTeX is often used for writing scientific publications due to its superior support for writing equations, handling citations through BibTeX and formatting documents in a uniform way.
