Writing Advanced Mathematics
LaTeX stands out for its excellent quality in typesetting formulas, making it the preferred software for mathematical writing. Beyond mathematics, LaTeX proves beneficial in various scientific fields reliant on complex formulas, which we will see in Chapter 11, Using LaTeX in Science and Technology.
The current chapter offers specific techniques for everyday math tasks. We assume readers possess a foundational knowledge of mathematical writing with LaTeX, but a brief tutorial is included to assist beginners. If you are already proficient in writing math, feel free to skip ahead.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Getting started
- Fine-tuning a formula
- Automatic line breaking in equations
- Highlighting in a formula
- Writing theorems and definitions
