LaTeX Tutorial
Why do you want to learn LaTeX?
Nuts and Bolts of LaTex
Examples

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
4
LaTeX Platforms
Scientific Workplace
(Commercial Package)
UNIX Systems (LyX)
(Free)
MikTex and WinEdt
PC Shareware

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
7
Flow of LaTeX Process

8
Source code of your
first LaTeX document
(fish.tex)
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
My mother is a fish.
\end{document}
9
Commands to Build and
View Document
To use xdvi viewer
% latex fish.tex

% xdvi fish.dvi
To use acroread
% pdflatex fish.tex

% acroread fish.pdf

10
11
Emphasizing words
(fish.tex)
\begin{document}
\emph{My mother} is a fish.
\end{document}
12
13
Underlining words
(fish.tex)
\begin{document}
\emph{My mother} is a
\underline{fish}.
\end{document}
14
15
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}

16
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

17
18
Sum Equation Example
(sum.tex)
\begin{document}

\begin{equation} \label{E:sum}
s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

19
20
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
22
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}

23
24
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}
25
26
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}

27
28
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}

29
30
Changing the document styles
\documentclass{book}
\documentclass{letter}
31
Report document style
(main.tex)
\title{Assignment 2 for SIMG726}
\author{Rolando V. Raque\~no}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents

\end{document}

32
33
Create the following chapters
chapter_sum.tex
chapter_mean.tex
chapter_sd.tex
34
chapter_mean.tex
\chapter{Mean} \label{C:Mean}
\bar{x} =
\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}}
{n}
\end{equation}

35
chapter_sum.tex
\chapter{Sum} \label{C:Sum}
\begin{equation} \label{E:sum}
s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}
\end{equation}

36
chapter_sd.tex
\label{C:SD}
\begin{equation} \label{E:sd}
\sigma =
\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}
{n-1}}
\end{equation}

37
Modify main.tex to include
chapters
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\include{chapter_sum}
\include{chapter_mean}
\include{chapter_sd}
\end{document}

38
39
Modify chapter_sd.tex
\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

40
41
Modify main.tex to include
chapters
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\include{chapter_mean}
\include{chapter_sum}
\include{chapter_sd}
\end{document}

42
43
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

44
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}
