With the help of God, I got some skills in terms of writing mathematics in arabic using Latex software, which became the
universal language for writing mathematics in dierent languages.
In advanced level, the mathematics writes in universal language, based on the Latin alphabet and from left to right, while
its notions are introduced, explained, and generally written in the original language of the authors.
This report deals with introducing dierent ways to use Latex for the arabic language, and Righ-To-Left written languages
in general. Most of the skills introduced have been used by the author to write a book on the theory of probability, currently in
the process of advising. Its published in the same philosophy of Latex as an opensource software, yearning to share knowledge.
It assumes that the reader is a user of the original Latex, in english, for writing mathematics, in dierent formats and styles,
kind of equations and so on...
