A quick guide to LATEXWhat is LATEX ? LATEX (usually pronounced LAY teck, sometimes LAHteck, and never LAY tex ) is a mathematics typesettingprogram that is the standard for most professionalmathematics writing. It is based on the typesetting programTEX created by Donald Knuth of Stanford University (his firstversion appeared in 1978). Leslie Lamport was responsible forcreating LATEX a more user friendly version of TEX. A team ofLATEX programmers created the current version, LATEX 2 .Math vs. text vs. functionsIn properly typeset mathematics variables appear in italics( ,f(x) =x2+ 2x 3). The exception to this rule ispredefined functions ( , sin(x)). Thus it is important toalwaystreat text, variables, and functions correctly. See thedifference betweenxand x, -1 and 1, andsin(x) and sin(x).There are two ways to present a mathematical expression inlineor as mathematical expressionsInline expressions occur in the middle of a sentence.
To make your delimiters large enough to t the content, use them together with \right and \left. For example, \left\{\sin\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\right\}_{n}^ {\infty}ˆ produces sin 1 n ˙ 1 n. Curly braces are non-printing characters that are used to gather text that has more than one character. Observe the
