    One note: I used double dollar signs like $$equation$$ for equations in the Display Math mode. This works. Doing \[equation\] does more or less the same thing. However, in general \[equation\] is a newer way to do this that has several advantages so is probably better to use even if it is a bit of a new thing to memorize.

      Do you hVe a way of aligning equations so I can leave reasons to the right? I tried begin equation array and begin align you know of an thing else ? Preferable without display mode or style

    I used LaTeX to write my masters thesis in ocean engineering way back in 1985. Back then the compiler ran on the university mainframe computer. I’m surprised that the program still exists but in more user friendly version with instantaneous compiling! As for my masters thesis, which was about the dynamics of floating bodies, involving things like triple boundary integrals, Green’s theorem, real and complex math, I can say I eventually came to understand how to write and display the math in LaTeX much more than I understood the math itself :)j

    If I may suggest, the continued fraction on 9:15 can use \cfrac instead of \frac so that the terms will not become smaller [unless preferred]. Also, the figure on the last part, I think, should be inside a figure environment.

    I watched this video in January because I had an advanced geometry and analytical instrumentations course and wanted my TA's/Professors to have an easier time with the online format. It was the kickstart I needed into using LaTeX for so many assignments which has resulted in acquiring quite high marks in those courses. What I love the most about LaTeX is that it makes my documents appear clean and well formatted without having to care much. Formula's as well as exponents/subscripts can be very well designed and legible. Graphs that I compile in MatLab or Desmos can be saved as .png files and then retain a high degree of aspect ratio such that they are legible. This is something word processors such as Word lack where my proton NMR spectrums may have integration values that cannot be read but with LaTeX the .pdf enables a user to zoom in and read the values.
    Definitely recommend learning LaTeX. This was a great video to start becoming accustomed and then slowly Googling how to do specific commands to reach my composition goals.

    Great introduction.
    Some tip: If you want to use \LaTeX{} to write a documentation in some other language then English, you actually also want to use package babel. So this is for Swedish:
    \documentclass[sv,a4paper]{article} % swedish and A4 paper format for the article
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % use UTF-8, as you all should do nowdays
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Adjust fonts in result so it will show you the right characters
    \usepackage[swedish]{babel} % And set \LaTeX{} to use Swedish language.

    I have used Latex since I was a Ph.D. student back in the early '90's. I use things like Word ... but only because people send me documents in Word. Whenever I write anything myself, it's in Latex. Best part is it pre-type sets everything for journals (download the style file from the journal). There is a learning curve but it's not that steep.

    It's not on overleaf, but another option (and the one I prefer) is to use Pandoc markdown and rendering latex. You can drop in latex whenever you need to, including equations, but I find that markdown gives me fewer headaches than vanilla latex. For example, despite my best efforts, I *always* end up with a backwards doublequote somewhere in my document because I forget to use backtick. Pandoc smooths that out for me.

    LaTeX is not just useful for math. I used to do my physics homework in it (with formulae and wave diagrams), and my computer science homework (with flow control diagrams and code excerpts), and amateur linguistics work (with phonology charts and interlinear glosses). Packages like TikZ are invaluable for drawing diagrams, if a bit syntactically idiosyncratic.

    Great video! My students love you. But on line 35/36 I would have used \langle
    angle instead of < > because of spacing reasons (TeX interprets < and > as binary operators and pads them, whereas \langle
    angle are brackets: Knuth *is* an Artist [of Computer Programming] after all).

    This was neat. I've heard of LaTeX for a long time but never really knew what it was. I've always used Word's equation editor for the occasional times I've need to put an equation in a document (I'm a chemist not a mathematician :) ). Thanks for this.

    • @sjn7220
      @sjn7220 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@DrTrefor I hadn't used Word's equation editor in a while; I just tried the "Ink editor" and it worked surprisingly well, even with a mouse.

      I wrote an entire book in Word and its old equation editor was the greatest invention known to man (for me). But word to the wise. If your book is longer than about 200 pages stop. The Word formatting gets all crazy and you will not be able to save it. I was crushed. All that work and I figured it was just unrecoverable. Then I stumbled onto Latex. Unfortunately I had to retype the equations again but I could simply cut and paste all the Word text into a LaTex document. Also a huge advantage of LaTex over word is Latex does all your table of contents, chapters, sections, index, etc automatically for you. It automatically numbers your equations, footnotes, citations. Formatting problems are virtually eliminated. All you have to do is write. If you pair LaTex and Inkscape just about anything you ever wanted to write you can accomplish.

    You are genius Sir. I have struggled with all these for long and the more videos i watched, the more confused I was, but this one here is a gem. You laid the foundation for learning Latec with solid granite stones. You explain what is what and why you are using what. I can almost do all these here without watching the video again simply because you explain the whys, hows and the whats. Thank you very much. I quickly clicked on the subsribe button like it was the last one available there :)
