About the Course

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 writing using LaTeX.
