Block course Introduction to LaTeX
From Monday, 2nd of march, to Wednesday, 4th of march, the next iteration of this introductory course to LaTeX will take place in lecture hall 4, building E2.4. The course will be geared towards students of mathematics, but students from other faculties are welcome, too! The course will be a voluntary affair without the award of credit points. A (n incomprehensive) list of covered topics:
- Basic mechanisms of LaTeX, crude typography, fonts and advice
- Horses for courses: Document classes, presets and how to find existing material
- Links, references, index
- Bibliography using BibLaTeX and biber, sources for bibliographic information
- Typesetting mathematics (general rules of thumb, nice to know environments and hacks from IEEEtrantools, mathtools, etc.)
- Basic 2D sketches using TikZ, an overview over pgfplots, tikzcd
- Setting up modular documents
- Typesetting source code
- LaTeX beamer
- Letters
The idea for this course is part interactive, part slides. Participants are encouraged to bring laptops. For an easy start Overleaf can be used. For unix based systems, help for installation of a local TeX distribution can be provided.
Please register as soon as possible and let me know what language (english/german) you would prefer. Please use the comment function for wishes on extra material.
