A (La)TeX Tutorial
By Christopher Harrison.
This tutorial for using (La)TeX, the document preparation systems, is
intended to give readers a good beginners' reference. It may, of course, be
read by anyone, but is perhaps best suited to mathematicians (or others in
need of typesetting complicated expressions) new to this somewhat
ubiquitous (amongst the profession, but otherwise unheard of) software.
Furthermore, due to the corruption induced by Microsoft, it is focused
especially at Windows users (i.e. we'll be using cuddly graphical interfaces,
rather than a UNIX command prompt)!
Note: Due to the web-based-ness of this tutorial, it will never be
completely finished (i.e. things will be added, removed, changed and
otherwise refined in real-time). If you have any comments, ideas,
corrections (or whatever), please contact me (address in Introduction).
