3 Why L A TEX Designed in the 1980s by mathematicians tired of their equations being messed up

4 Why L A TEX Designed in the 1980s by mathematicians tired of their equations being messed up Word processor that gives you near complete control

5 Why L A TEX Designed in the 1980s by mathematicians tired of their equations being messed up Word processor that gives you near complete control Smart, e.g no sections at the bottom of a page

6 Why L A TEX Designed in the 1980s by mathematicians tired of their equations being messed up Word processor that gives you near complete control Smart, e.g no sections at the bottom of a page Good for papers, homework, notes, posters, talks (like this one!), and more

7 Why L A TEX Designed in the 1980s by mathematicians tired of their equations being messed up Word processor that gives you near complete control Smart, e.g no sections at the bottom of a page Good for papers, homework, notes, posters, talks (like this one!), and more Open source a swiss army knife who anyone can add to
