What is LaTeX?

LaTeX (pronounced “LAY-tek” or “LAH-tek”) is a document preparation system widely used by scientists, mathematicians, and engineers for creating high-quality typeset documents. It excels at producing complex mathematical expressions, well-structured documents, and ensuring consistency in formatting. Whether you’re writing a journal article, a textbook, or your dissertation, LaTeX offers the precision and control needed to produce professional-quality work.
