Getting Started with LaTeX In-Person

This workshop provides an overview of using LaTeX for document preparation. It covers both the process of working with the system and the markup syntax used. LaTeX is popular in academic communities, especially those that make use of symbols and notation as part of scholarly communication.

The workshop does not assume any familiarity with LaTeX or other markup languages. We will use the ShareLaTeX web service for this workshop.
