About this book

For more than 30 years, this comprehensive manual has been the standard introduction and complete reference for writing articles and books containing mathematical formulas. This sixth edition uses a slightly changed title, Text and Math into LaTeX, to emphasize the importance of text in mathematical/scientific composition. Sections that contained commands no longer much needed (such as  \includeonly) and the introductory sections to PDF (now ubiquitous) have been omitted. Many sections are now enhanced with discussion of new and useful packages. An occasional encouragement for the reader to consult ChatGPT for confirmation on various points illustrates the positive relationship between ChatGPT and LaTeX.

The new Chapter 17 describes recent developments that enhance, or replace, BibTeX and the new Appendix C, introduces the reader to ChatGPT.

 

Key features:

  • An example-based, visual approach and agentle 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
  • A detailed approach to creating illustrations
  • Extras are provided on SpringerLink for the following chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and Appendices A, B. Readers must visit the HTML version of each chapter and access the Electronic Supplementary Material.

 

Extras for Appendices A & B can be found in Extras for Chapter 18.
