This book focuses in depth on LaTeX and TeX, the primary computer typesetting systems for technical authors. It emphasizes not only knowing the use of commands but provides the reader with detailed additional information including the uses of fonts and virtual fonts, graphics, Internet resources, and general background information.

LaTeX is the premiere software system used for presenting technical information. It is considered the system of choice for writers in mathematics, the sciences, computer science, and engineering who need to present formulas and technical infomation in a clear and elegant manner. It is also increasingly used by nontechnical writers interested in superior printing and document presentation. However, users of this ubiquitous software need to know much more than how to use basic style files or LaTeX commands. They need to know how to integrate Tex-the original version of LaTeX-with other commercially available software and hardware. People also need clear, accurate and brief instructions and solutions to many common problems. This unique book is intended to provide these valuable aids. It also tells how to use LaTex or Tex with files prepared with everyday office software such as Lotus or Wordperfect, and how to set up software links with Acrobat and hyper-text using LaTex for internet communication.

Alan Hoenig is Professor of Mathematics, John Jay College, City University of New York.
