| dc.description.abstract | The necessity for writing this book was felt long back, during my Ph.D. work, when
I saw students and researchers struggling with LATEX for preparing their articles and
theses. A very limited number of books on LATEX are available in markets. Of
course, a lot of resources on this subject can be obtained freely from the internet.
However, most of the books emphasize on detailed documentation of LATEX, while
the internet-based resources are topic-specific. But people are either unable or not
interested to spare time, during their busy schedules of research works, to understand
and learn the detailed genotype of LATEX covered in books, or to collect
materials from different websites. Instead, they prefer to get direct and concise
applications of various LATEX syntax in a single window, which they can modify
easily, so as to get their works done in the least time and with the least effort. This is
the motivation for writing the book. The book has been prepared by following a
huge number of existing books and internet-based resources, as well as my personal
experience with LATEX (but the Bibliographic list has been shortened referring only
to some famous resources). An attempt is made here to present materials in such a
way that, at least, a similar book can be produced using only this book. Using only
the raw version of this book, many of my students have already learned LATEX
successfully up to the level of preparing articles and dissertations. Hence, I am
confident that the book would be able to cater to the needs of other students and
professionals also, who want to learn and use LATEX in a short time. Suggestions for
any correction, modification, addition, or deletion will be highly appreciated . | en_US |
