allows you to concentrate on your document’s content;

once you know how it works, you write quicker ;

it is free of charges!

→ it is used by the most of scientists who work in AppliedSciences (Mathematics, Computer Sciences, Engineering,Chemistry).

Focusing on my document ?

other typesetting programs have as output what you see;

LATEX obliges you to divide in blocks your document:

parts;chapters;sections;subsections;subsubsections;

LATEX automatically makes the hyphenations whennecessary;

LATEX can send the reader dynamically (e.g. see p. XX );

LATEX automatically numbers equations, proofs, theorems,etc.;

There are lots of other commands;

for typing equations (either in $$ or in equationenvironment), there is a plain notation.

Here are a few examples. . .

→ means a to the power u (au).

→ means that u is below a (au).

\sqrt{a}

→ means that we take the square root of a (√

\int_{a}^{b} \sin(x)\mathrm dx

→ means that we take the integral of sin(x) between a and b

Inserting images – Introduction.

Inserting images in LATEX documents is a little bit fair-hairedbut keep in mind that. . .

If you convert TEX→ PS → PDF (normal conversion), youhave to use a command like:

\begin{figure}[h]

\includegraphics[scale=1, bb=0 0 829 397]{yourimage.png}

\caption{This is a caption.}

\end{figure}

Precisions:

don’t forget the “figure” environment;h stands for “here”;you must include the package “graphicx” in the preamble;“scale” means “echelle” (ratio);your picture must be in PNG format;the “caption” command gives a legend to the image;don’t forget to close the “figure” environment!
