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 © 2014Practical LaTeX may also be a good choice.

In this carefully revised fifth edition, theShort 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:

  • A example-based, visual approach and a gentle introduction with theShort Course
  • A detailed exposition of multiline math formulas with aVisual 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.

-Europ an Mathematical Society Newsletter

There are several LaTeX guides, but this one wins hands down for the elegance of its approach and breadth of coverage.

-Amazon.c m, Best of 2000,Editor's choice

A novice reader will be able to learn the most essential features of LaTeX sufficient to begin typesetting papers within a few hours of time... An experienced TeX user, on the other hand, will find a systematic and detailed discussion of LaTeX fea
