TEX, a software system created by Donald E. Knuth, sets the standard for typesetting in mathematics, science, and engineering. "TEX for the Impatient" is a handbook that arose from the need to help technical writers learn TEX more quickly -- and once having learned it, to find fast answers to common questions. Clear, concise, and accessible, this book is organized for easy retrieval of information, thoroughly indexed, and carefully designed for learning by example.
