Why you want to learn LaTeX

Very powerful control of document
generation, particularly large technical
documents
Minimizes the drudgery of formatting,
numbering, and referencing
Disadvantage:
Steep Learning Curve

The LaTeX Process

1. Create a text file (with your favorite text
editor) with LaTeX commands
2. Compile or Build your document using
the LaTeX program
3. Display resulting Document
4. Continue writing and go to 1 until finished
5. Convert Document to Postscript or PDF

Source code of your

first LaTeX document
(fish.tex)
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
My mother is a fish.
\end{document}

Emphasizing words
(fish.tex)
\begin{document}
\emph{My mother} is a fish.
\end{document}

Underlining words
(fish.tex)
\begin{document}
\emph{My mother} is a
\underline{fish}.
\end{document}

Making references in LaTeX

(fish.tex)
\begin{document}
\emph{My mother} is a \underline{fish}
\cite{WF}.
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{WF}
William Falkner, \emph{As I Lay Dying}
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
RolandoV.Raqueo
15
Need to compile the document

twice
Because we are using symbolic
references, e.g., \cite{WF}, a second
pass is necessary
The second pass will resolve references

Sum Equation Example

(sum.tex)
\begin{document}
\begin{equation} \label{E:sum}
s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
RolandoV.Raqueo

Sum of Squares Equation

Example (sum_squares.tex)
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\label{E:sum_squares}
s2 = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}^{2}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

21
Mean Equation Example

(mean.tex)
\begin{document}
\begin{equation} \label{E:mean}
\bar{x} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}}
{n}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
RolandoV.Raqueo
22

23
Mean Equation Example

with limits (mean_limits.tex)
\begin{document}
\bar{x} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}
x_{i}} {n}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Variance Equation Example

(variance.tex)
\begin{document}
\begin{equation} \label{E:variance}
\sigma^{2} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}
\left(x_{i} - \bar{x}\right)^{2}}
{n-1}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Standard Deviation Equation

Example (sd.tex)
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Standard Deviation}
\begin{equation} \label{E:sd}
\sigma =
\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}
{n-1}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Changing the document styles

\documentclass{book}
\documentclass{letter}
RolandoV.Raqueo

Report document style

(main.tex)
\title{Assignment 2 for SIMG726}
\author{Rolando V. Raque\~no}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\end{document}
RolandoV.Raqueo
31

Create the following chapters

chapter_sum.tex
chapter_mean.tex
chapter_sd.tex
RolandoV.Raqueo
33
chapter_mean.tex
\chapter{Mean} \label{C:Mean}
\bar{x} =
\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}}
{n}
\end{equation}
RolandoV.Raqueo
34
chapter_sum.tex
\chapter{Sum} \label{C:Sum}
\begin{equation} \label{E:sum}
s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}
\end{equation}
RolandoV.Raqueo
35
chapter_sd.tex
\chapter{Standard Deviation}
\label{C:SD}
\begin{equation} \label{E:sd}
\sigma =
\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}
{n-1}}
\end{equation}
RolandoV.Raqueo
36
Modify main.tex to include

chapters
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\include{chapter_sum}
\include{chapter_mean}
\include{chapter_sd}
\end{document}
RolandoV.Raqueo
37
RolandoV.Raqueo
38
Modify chapter_sd.tex
\chapter{Standard Deviation} \label{C:SD}
\end{equation}
We can see that equation \ref{E:sd} uses
equation
\ref{E:mean} to compute the mean and that
the \emph{Mean}
function uses equation \ref{E:sum} both of
which are defined
in Chapter \ref{C:Sum} and \ref{C:Mean},
respectively

\tableofcontents
\include{chapter_mean}
\include{chapter_sum}
\include{chapter_sd}

Including image graphics into

you LaTeX document
Need to convert your image graphics into
EPS (encapsulated postscript).
For images, use pnmtops, e.g.
% pnmtops MyCat.pgm > MyCat.ps
Need to include an extension package to

LaTeX called graphics using command
\usepackage{graphics}
N.B. In CIS systems, following example works

for latex but not for pdflatex
RolandoV.Raqueo

Image Graphics Example

(image.tex)
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{MyCat.ps}
\caption{This is My Cat}
\label{F:MyCat}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
