[edit] LaTeX

  • How to install LaTeX on Windows:
  1. Download and install MiKTeX.
  2. Make sure you have Adobe Reader installed.
  3. Download and install an editor, such as TeXMaker or TeXnicCenter. Configure the PDFLateX option.
  • How to install LaTeX on Linux:
  1. Skip Step 1 above: LaTeX should already be installed.
  2. Make sure you have Adobe Reader (or another PDF reader) installed.
  3. There is a version of TeXMaker for Linux. Configure the PDFLateX option.
  • How to install LaTeX on Macs:
  1. Follow the instructions at MacTeX.


  • Some examples of LaTeX files:
  1. barebones.tex
  2. A multiple choice quiz
  3. LaTeX is part of MediaWiki and other software on the Internet\[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}\]
  4. BA.tex | Boole.jpg | Huntington.jpg | Stone.jpg


  • Resources:
  1. A Simplified Introduction to LaTeX
  2. A LaTeX Primer
  3. The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX
  4. A LaTeX crash course
  5. The TeX Cookbook (List of symbols)
  6. The standard book reference is: Leslie Lamport, LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, Addison-Wesley, 2nd Edition, 1994.

[edit] PSTricks

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!]
