About the Course

Course on Scientific Paper Writing Tools

Introduction

Since inception, we are accustomed to documents in the form of articles, books, letters etc in various form, say, a newspaper Editorial or a book depicting a collection of short stories. Traditional document processors, like MS-Word in Windows or LibreOffice in Linux operating system, were widely used for preparing non-portable short documents, albeit, the required time and effort in preparing well-referenced, hyperlinked volumetric documents with cross-platform applicability are huge, particularly in the field of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). LaTeX solves this problem using a state-of-the-art document preparation methodology. In this course, we will introduce the basics of scientific paper writing tools.

Objective

The primary objective of such course is to equip the young learners with the knowledge and skills to create high-quality, professional-looking documents, especially those with complex mathematical equations, technical content or heavily interlinked hyperreferenced articles. This includes understanding the document class preparation system, it’s features and how to use it effectively for typesetting various document types like research articles, theses, CV, calendar, books in various languages.
