For over two decades, this comprehensive manual has been the standard introduction and complete reference for writing articles and books containing mathematical formulas. If the reader requires a streamlined approach to learning LaTeX for composing everyday documents, Grätzer's 2014 Practical LaTeX may also be a good choice. In this carefully revised fifth edition, the Short Course has been brought up to date and reflects a modern and practical approach to LaTeX usage. New chapters have been added on illustrations and how to use LaTeX on an iPad. Key features include an example-based, visual approach and a gentle introduction with the Short Course, a detailed exposition of multiline math formulas with a visual guide, a unified approach to TeX, LaTeX, and the AMS enhancements, and a quick introduction to creating presentations with formulas. From earlier reviews: Grätzer's book is a solution. - Europ.
