This book teaches the use of LaTeX, a free, automated typesetting system, presenting techniques for writing an article, report, thesis, or book with data plots, complex graphics, and computer presentations, with examples showing input and output side by side.
LaTeX is a free, automated state-of-the-art typesetting system. This book teaches all the ins and outs of LaTeX which are needed to write an article, report, thesis, or book. The book teaches by example, giving many worked out examples showing input and output side by side. The book presents the most recent techniques for presenting data plots, complex graphics, and computer presentations, but does not require previous knowledge. However, it is also a reference for the more seasoned user, with pointers to modern techniques and packages. Recurring themes in the book are consistent and effective presentation, planning and development, controlling style and content, and maintenance.

Dr M. R. C. van Dongen is a permanent member of the academic staff of the Computer ScienceDepartment of University College, Cork, Ireland. He is an active member of com.text.tex. His main research area is constraint satisfaction. He has been using LATEX since 1988. He uses LATEX and friends to produce his scientific publications, his lecture presentations, and lecture notes. He has a particular interest in integrating high-quality/ maintainable graphics in pdf documents. To this end he uses metapost and pgf/tikz. Some of his metapost work may be viewed on his website. Examples of his pgf/tikz work, including the source code, may be viewed in his book LATEX and Friends.

lt;p>From the reviews:

"The present book is composed of several parts covering introduction to LaTex: basic typesetting; tables, diagrams, and data plots; mathematics and algorithms; automation; and miscellaneous topics. The present book brings in a fresh flavor by 'avoiding the use of what is known in the LaTex community as 'verbatim' commands and environments, except when it comes to including, well, verbatim program listings'. The present book is a welcome addition to the previous set of excellent books ... ." (D. Subbaram Naidu, Amazon.com, January, 2014)
