The typesetting program LaTeX can be used for the publication of scientific results or for writing study and final theses that are to be designed professionally. LaTeX supports the layout process of documents - especially with extensive text and image material.
LaTeX is free and runs on the most common operating systems.
For working with LaTeX, we offer the course LaTeX - Typesetting technical/scientific texts with LaTeX alternating between Friedberg and Gießen .
The first part how you work with the system and what possibilities it offers. The most important rules of typography are also briefly discussed. The participants are then able to start working with LaTeX. These topics are in the foreground in the first part:
