LaTeX

LaTeX(usually pronounced “LAY teck,” sometimes “LAH teck,” and never “LAY tex”) is a mathematics typesetting program that is the standard for most professional mathematics writing. We will use LaTeX within MarkDown cells in Jupiter notebooks for formatting mathematical equations within work completed in this class.
