LaTeX
- How to install LaTeX on Windows:
- Download and install MiKTeX.
- Make sure you have Adobe Reader installed.
- Download and install an editor, such as TeXMaker or TeXnicCenter. Configure the PDFLateX option.
- How to install LaTeX on Linux:
- Skip Step 1 above: LaTeX should already be installed.
- Make sure you have Adobe Reader (or another PDF reader) installed.
- There is a version of TeXMaker for Linux. Configure the PDFLateX option.
- How to install LaTeX on Macs:
- Follow the instructions at MacTeX.
- Some examples of LaTeX files:
- barebones.tex
- A multiple choice quiz
- LaTeX is part of MediaWiki and other software on the Internet\[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}\]
- BA.tex | Boole.jpg | Huntington.jpg | Stone.jpg
- Resources:
- A Simplified Introduction to LaTeX
- A LaTeX Primer
- The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX
- A LaTeX crash course
- The TeX Cookbook (List of symbols)
- The standard book reference is: Leslie Lamport, LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, Addison-Wesley, 2nd Edition, 1994.
Beamer
- Jennifer's Presentation
- Latex source
- To compile the LaTeX file, you will also need to download the contents of the folder with the images used. (Put the files in a directory called "images".)
- A Beamer slide presentation: PDF file LaTeX file
- Andrew Mertz and William Slough. Beamer by Example. The PracTEX Journal 2005 No 04, 17 pp.
- Till Tantau, Joseph Wright, and Vedran Miletić. The Beamer class. User Guide for version 3.33.. December 25, 2013, 245 pp.
PSTricks
- Agamyrat's Presentation
- Using PSTricks with TeXMaker
- PSTricks on MACs:
On the Mac version - if this line is the first line of the a document using pstricks:
% !TEX TS-program = latex
the document can be typeset with Latex (the normal way it works in TexShop) instead of XeLaTex (the option we found in the Monday lab). [Thanks, Louise!]
