LaTeX

LaTeX compilers:

https://miktex.org/ - downloadable and can be configured for different purposes

https://www.overleaf.com/ - online compiler, also includes loads of templates

Very useful site for finding LaTeX symbols, shows you the package that the symbol is included in:

I also mentioned that I’d been using vectorised graphics for my circuit diagrams in Latex, if you’d like to include that in your work you can use the circuitikz package, which is an extension of the tikz package. For circuits you only need to include \usepackage{circuitikz} in your preamble, but it’s beneficial to also include \usepackage{tikz} which allows you to include additional labels, arrows, dashed boxes etc.

Don't plot things in LaTeX, it's not fun
