About this book
Unlike much of the literature currently available on LaTeX, which takes a more technical stance, focusing on the details of the software itself, this book presents a user-focused guide that is concerned with its application to everyday tasks and scenarios. It is packed with exercises and looks at topics like formatting text, drawing and inserting tables and figures, bibliographies and indexes, equations, slides, and provides valuable explanations to error and warning messages so you can get work done with the least time and effort needed. This means LaTeX in 24 Hours can be used by students and researchers with little or no previous experience with LaTeX to gain quick and noticeable results, as well as being used as a quick reference guide for those more experienced who want to refresh their knowledge on the subject.
Reviews
“This work is a great option for people who want to quickly and efficiently learn how to prepare a document in LaTeX. Every aspect of writing a document is presented with enough detail to cover the preparation of a thesis, a scientific textbook, a research article, a conference presentation, a poster, and other relevant works. So researchers of all levels, from lower to high, will find the information needed to complete their work in style.” (Lazaros Moysis, zbMATH 1447.68001, 2020)
