I prefer $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ because it produces beautiful mathematical equations that MS Word cannot. $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ is used by publishers like O'Reilly and Springer for books that involve mathematics and statistics.
Now let me guide you on getting started with $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ on Windows, Mac and Ubuntu.
For Windows users:
- Go to this site, download what is recommended for your system;
- follow the instructions in installation; after that,
- download the TeXMaker here, and install. (TeXMaker is a $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ text-editor with many features including syntax highlighting)
- Go to this site, download the MacTeX.pkg;
- follow the instructions in installation; after that,
- download the TeXMaker here, and install.
- Open Ubuntu Software Center, search for TeXMaker, then click Install. (This will install TeXlive as well)
We will start with our first $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ document in my next post.
