About this book

For over two decades, this comprehensive manual has been the standard introduction and complete reference for writing articles and books containing mathematical formulas. If the reader requires a streamlined approach to learning LaTeX for composing everyday documents, Grätzer’s © 2014 Practical LaTeX may also be a good choice.

In this carefully revised fifth edition, the Short Course has been brought up to date and reflects a modern and practical approach to LaTeX usage. New chapters have been added on illustrations and how to use LaTeX on an iPad.

Key features:

  • An example-based, visual approach and a gentle introduction with the Short Course
  • A detailed exposition of multiline math formulas with a Visual Guide
  • A unified approach to TeX, LaTeX, and the AMS enhancements
  • A quick introduction to creating presentations with formulas

From earlier reviews:

Grätzer’s book is a solution.
