Latex Tutorial

This document provides an introduction and overview of using LaTeX to write documents. It covers topics such as inserting equations both inline and in separate environments, adding figures and tables, defining custom commands, and citing references. Examples are provided throughout to demonstrate how to write equations, align equations across multiple lines, include figures with subcaptions, construct tables with captions, and cite references in BibTeX format.

Introduction

You can use latex to do all of the things word processors can do, like color, italics and bold. We can make fonts that are bigger or even

bigger

and also fonts that are really

small

New paragraphs like this on are automatically indented according to the document class that you declared at the beginning of the le. This document uses the article class, which defaults to indenting the beginning of every paragraph except the rst paragraph of a new section. Sometimes you might want to change the way a paragraph is indented by using special commands, like: This! I used the \noindent command to make sure that this paragraph was not indented. Also, notice that above when I wrote \noindent A L TEX did not interpret it as a command, but as text. To do this I used the \verb command.

Equations

A One of the most popular features of L TEX is the ability to make nice looking math equations. Here are some examples:

2f 2f + =0 x2 y 2

(1) (2)

bx 0q

sin

23 x dx 17

Note that if you give your equations labels, then you can reference them in the text, like this: Eq. 1 and Eq. 2. The advantage of using these types of references is that they will always refer to the correct equation, even if you add more in later or rearrange them.

2.1

Inline equations

Sometimes you want to have a short bit of math inside the text, like this: h x = p To do this you can surround your math with $s. Alternatively, h you can use the \ensuremath{}, like this: x = p .

2.2

Align

If you want to have a derivation that take multiple lines and have all the equal signs line up, we can use the align environment.

u = arctan x 1 du = dx 1 + x2

dv = dx v = x.

Note that with both the eqaution and align environments, if you put an asterix after the name in the begin statements (e.g. \begin{align*}), the equations will not be numbered. The same thing works for sections and subsections.

Figure 1: This is a gure

Floats

A Floats are things that L TEX will intelligently place within your text. The most common types of oats are gures and tables.

3.1

Figures

The standard package to use for images is graphicx. And this is what you would do if you would like to have multiple subgures:

3.2

Tables

A Tables in L TEX can sometimes seem tedious, but they are very exible. Note that to make a table we need two environments: rst we need the table environment to make a oat which can contain, among other things, captions, and then we need the tabular environment to actually dene the contents of the table. Technically you could make a table with just the tabular environment, but then it would no be placed intelligently like other oats and could not include captions.

(a) rst subgure

(b) second

Table 1: This is a table


We can reference gures and tables the same way we reference equations, like this: Figure 1 and Table 1.

Advanced Stu

To avoid typing an awkward set of commands over and over again, you can dene your own commands such as: \newcommand{\degree}{\ensuremath{^{\circ}}} Now, whenever you type degree in your .tex document, the compiler will read it as \ensuremath{^{\circ}}.That is, it will place a superscripted A circle in place of \degree\. The \ensuremathcommand means L TEX will read the commands in the braces as being in math mode. You do not want to use inline math ($) here because if you are already in math mode, having the $ signs here will take you out of math mode! Add the command for 180 underneath the current command for partial derivatives. Information for functions and packages is very well documented. Simply search google to see how to do more interesting things.

References and Citations

References in Latex are extremely simple with the use of Bibtex. First, create a .bib le where you can store all of the information about papers youve used. Programs like Google Scholar and PubMed will have Bibtex information about the papers. Simply copy and past the information into a .bib le and use the cite package at the begining of your document. To cite, use ~\cite{} with your paper reference in the brackets. [?]
