    This semester, I used LaTeX for every lab report, math HW assignment, and physics problem set and it was very rewarding. The first few weeks were a bit rough but after that, it became so natural after I setup a few templates and custom commands.

    I can say almost without hesitation that your Latex videos are one of the best (if not the best) tutorials one can find in video format. There do exist very exhaustive videos, but yours are nicely divided and provide the essentials to create nice documents at any academic level. I wanted to learn Latex long ago, and thanks to your videos now I am writing my master thesis in
    Latex.

    I had to give a 30 minute presentation in my PDEs course recently. Used overleaf to create the PowerPoint. It definitely made the slides easier to read and understand with the latex font and organization.

    Latex lab report templates are where it’s at. Also wrote a handful of research papers this semester, I found a really nice and good looking template. Also the resume templates are solid. Been really really happy with it so far. Also excited to see overleaf starting to market.

    In math mode, you say there's no space after that comma, but there is. Compare $3, 4$ and 3,4 and you'll see. But yeah of course sometimes you want more space. My point is just that there is a space there, so you don't necessarily have to add more.

    My university provides overleaf premium. I never really had to use it until this semester, where the professor requested we submit our homework (Wireless and Mobile Networking Systems) using a pdf generated from LaTeX. I still don't know if it's the right tool for me to take notes - I find that google docs fits my needs just fine. Maybe it's like vim, where if you invest enough time into it you become more productive?

    • @DrTrefor
      @DrTrefor  Рік тому +3

      Nice! Personally, it took me to grad school to start taking notes in LaTeX because I just wasn't fast enough, but its one of those things where when you start doing it you quickly become fast enough and then are glad and think why didn't I do this earlier:D

    Thanks for the video! One suggestion for a Latex topic I'd have is bibtex styles. I'm writing my Master's thesis in theoretical physics and I have collected my references in Jabref. In principle, everything works, but I struggle to find a decent style. I tried unsrt to have the citations sorted chronologically. But first, it doesn't abbreviate "et al", so when I quote a paper with many authors like the Planck papers (I write in cosmology) it's like a full page for just one reference. I could of course manually change that in the bibtex reference but that's kind of ugly. And second, it doesn't handle online references well, I just want something like the URL and "accessed on date x". Maybe any suggestions on a good bibtex style?

    • @sebastiandierks7919
      @sebastiandierks7919 Рік тому +2

      Btw, if anyone is interested, I solved my problems as follows: my bibtex style (unsrt) did not support url and urldate. But you can just put \url{....} directly into one of the fields which are supported, e.g. the author field, if you don't want to specify an author of the webpage anyway. In the latex preamble, I used the package xurl instead of the normal url, for example as otherwise urls do not contain line breaks, which is a problem as urls are often quite long. Not the most elegant solution, but I did not find a bibtex style which did support urls and had all the advantages I liked about unsrt, e.g. sorting the references chronologically.

    You forgot step 1: Get rid of Computer Modern and use a typeface that people whose name doesn’t start with K and and with nuth like the look of.
    (Ok, i get it. When you actually have it published, it will be in the publishers typefaces. But otherwise ...)
    Also, pronouncing it with an s-sound at the end (and the ay at the start) is so not helping to differentiate LaTeX from latex. How you say »latex document« really sounds … rubbery, to put it SFW.
