  • LaTeX Workshop: Learn how to typeset mathematics and collaborate on Overleaf. Led by Peter Francis.

LaTeX is a tool that is used to create clean and pretty documents. It differs from "what you see is what you get" editors (like Microsoft Word and Pages): when using LaTeX, instead of typing and interacting with the exact words and objects that get printed, you type a "code" that the LaTeX compiler converts into a PDF. This allows you to focus on the content of what you are typing, as well as have more control over the style!

By the end of this talk, you will learn the basics of typesetting using LaTeX. We will start with a brief explanation of how to compile LaTeX code into a PDF using Overleaf. Then you will learn about various elements that can be included into a LaTeX document (e.g. paragraph text, sections and subsections, math equations and symbols, tables, images, and lists), and how to change the style of the page. Even though we cannot possibly cover every detail of LaTeX in an hour, you will learn how to use various web resources to efficiently solve typesetting problems, find good-looking templates, and answer the age-old question: "How do I make it look like this?!"
