Dear participants,

Please bring laptops. We will take a look at several examples, which you are meant to compile and play with via overleaf.

Best,

Friedrich

Blockkurs Einführung in LaTeX / Introduction to LaTeX

Through august 16th to 18th an introductory course to LaTeX will take place. The course will be geared towards students of mathematics, but students from other faculties are welcome, too! Organisational details are mostly tba and do depend on the number of to be participants and special wishes on course material. This 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. According to the number of to be participants, a room will be chosen and organisation will be finalised. Please use the comment function for wishes on extra material.
