  • Latex on Windows
    LaTeX on Windows Installing MikTeX and using TeXworks, as described on the main LaTeX page, is enough to get you started using LaTeX on Windows. This page provides further information for experienced users. Tips for using TeXworks Forward and Inverse Search If you are working on a long document, forward and inverse searching make editing much easier. • Forward search means jumping from a point in your LaTeX source file to the corresponding line in the pdf output file. • Inverse search means jumping from a line in the pdf file back to the corresponding point in the source file. In TeXworks, forward and inverse search are easy. To do a forward search, right-click on text in the source window and choose the option "Jump to PDF". Similarly, to do an inverse search, right-click in the output window and choose "Jump to Source". Other Front End Programs Among front ends, TeXworks has several advantages, principally, it is bundled with MikTeX and it works without any configuration. However, you may want to try other front end programs. The most common ones are listed below. • Texmaker. Installation notes: 1. After you have installed Texmaker, go to the QuickBuild section of the Configuration menu and choose pdflatex+pdfview. 2. Before you use spell-check in Texmaker, you may need to install a dictionary; see section 1.3 of the Texmaker user manual. • Winshell. Installation notes: 1. Install Winshell after installing MiKTeX. 2. When running the Winshell Setup program, choose the pdflatex-optimized toolbar. 3. Winshell uses an external pdf viewer to display output files.

Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 1 / 13 Outline 1 LaTex A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 2 / 13 LaTex What is LaTex? Some content taken from Wikipedia. TeX is a typesetting system: \allow anybody to produce high-quality books using minimal effort, and to provide a system that would give exactly the same results on all computers, at any point in time." Knuth had the idea to use mathematics to typeset mathematics! LaTex is a markup language for technical writing, with special emphasis on math-heavy writing, built on top of Tex: \TeX handles the layout side, while LaTeX handles the content side for document processing." What's a markup language and how does it differ from WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") word processors like Microsoft Word? Compare to html, and contrast interpreted versus compiled languages. Using LaTex: write-format-preview (compare to code-compile-execute). A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 3 / 13 LaTex Why LaTex? Advantages of LaTex: (interactive) Abstract: Separate presentation from content: focus on the content and not visual appearance. Portable: LaTex files are simple text files so perfectly portable and easy to open/edit/share/diff. Flexible: Change appearance/format by changing one word, e.g., the document class. Extensible: macros allow one to add new functionality. Any advantages of WYSIWYG? (interactive) LyX is a combination of the two: Focus on content but also see it on your screen! (Lyx Demo, including change tracking).

Rewrite your abstract, taking into account what you have learned from the process of writing the paper. As You should start writing your paper while you are you fine-tune your abstract, you may find it helpful to working on your experiment. Prof. George Whitesides refer to Nature's instructions for writing an abstract says: \A paper is not just an archival device for stor- [2] and for clear communication more generally [3]. ing a completed research program; it is also a structure for planning your research in progress.

You already work many, many your research. A good outline for the paper is also a hours/week, and you don't really want to spend more good plan for the research program. You should write time reading this paper. So you're going to be very happy and rewrite these plans/outlines throughout the course if the figures are pretty, the text flows logically, the ref- of the research.

    LaTeX on Macintosh Installing MacTeX and using TeXShop, as described on the main LaTeX page, is enough to get you started using LaTeX on a Mac. This page provides further information for experienced users. Tips for using TeXShop Forward and Inverse Search If you are working on a long document, forward and inverse searching make editing much easier. • Forward search means jumping from a point in your LaTeX source file to the corresponding line in the pdf output file. • Inverse search means jumping from a line in the pdf file back to the corresponding point in the source file. In TeXShop, forward and inverse search are easy. To do a forward search, right-click on text in the source window and choose the option "Sync". (Shortcut: Cmd-Click). Similarly, to do an inverse search, right-click in the output window and choose "Sync". Spell-checking TeXShop does spell-checking using Apple's built in dictionaries, but the results aren't ideal, since TeXShop will mark most LaTeX commands as misspellings, and this will distract you from the real misspellings in your document. Below are two ways around this problem. • Use the spell-checking program Excalibur which is included with MacTeX (in the folder / Applications/TeX). Before you start spell-checking with Excalibur, open its Preferences, and in the LaTeX section, turn on "LaTeX command parsing". Then, Excalibur will ignore LaTeX commands when spell-checking. • Install CocoAspell (already installed in the Math Lab), then go to System Preferences, and open the Spelling preference pane. Choose the last dictionary in the list (the third one labeled "English (United States)"), and check the box for "TeX/LaTeX filtering".
