From a simple equation to a mathematical treatise, this practical guide offers an in-depth review of the mathematics typesetting aspects of the industry-leading typesetting software, LaTeX. Among the topics discussed in this manual are mathematics in line with normal text, the software's special mathematics mode, color in math expressions, and fonts and math. Handy features include a list of mathematical symbols for quick-reference, a survey of a wide range of additional mathematics packages—with a particular emphasis on the American Mathematical Society package—and ready-to-run examples to enable users to get going quickly.
