Introduction to LaTeX: June 18 @ 2:00-4:00PM EST
This workshop will introduce you to the basics of LaTeX and set you up to be able to use it with confidence.
Before the workshop, download and install MikTeX, and try to run the attached “helloworld.tex” file, which is an example of the simplest function of LaTeX. Once you are comfortable with that, try running the sample file (make sure the btree.png is in the same folder if you are running into issues) for an example of more that LaTeX can do.
We look forward to seeing you!
Moderator: Maxwell Lightstone
Workshop Materials
It is recommended that participants install MikTeX in advance (https://miktex.org/), or some other tool to compile the LaTeX source code, and potentially Ipe (http://ipe.otfried.org/) should participants be interested in a drawing editor for figures.
