    LaTeX is the software that taught me not to fear documentation. I think PGF/TikZ has a pdf with like 2K pages and barely anything else, so you either extract what you need from there or don't use it. And it's actually not that hard, one just has to overcome that initial feeling of being overwhelmed.

      Same here. LaTeX and Emacs. On the other hand, some people don't want to deal with that and just want to get to the basics and be done. Thanks for your comment.

    I used tex 32 years ago, to write my master's thesis, and then i stopped using it because everybody was using ms word. After watching your video i decided to start using latex instead of ms word

    • @JakeBox0
      @JakeBox0  3 роки тому +1

      Sure, I suppose I could look into that! It's really a matter of good organization: sections and subsections will form the core. So I might have an introduction section, a data collection section, an analysis section, etc. And in analysis I might have a subsection about "mathematical analysis," or in data collection I might have "uncertainty," or something like that. Good luck!

    Is there an editor that lets me edit the equations real-time like in word, at least a symbols tab would be appreciated, I cannot stand having to constantly hit "altgr+some key" to get the stupid slashes, carets... and all the stuff required? As it stands right now, I don't see myself ever switching from word, even though LaTeX looks much nicer word is just so much faster.

    • @randonymous

      There are websites that let you enter equations using calculator-like buttons and will give you the corresponding latex code to copy and paste into your editor. Just Google something like "latex equation editor"

    It's not pronounced as tex, it's pronounced as tech. Pronounce the χ of TeX as a Greek chi, not as an ‘x’, so that TeX rhymes with the word speck.

      It is not a big deal but the originators of LaTeX (and TeX) stressed that is was the greek letter not regular X. The greek symbol for this is pronounced the same as "ch" (as in tech) I know it is bit confusing.

    Edit: We're you going for \pi R^2? That would make sense to me if you were but building on my machine fails with "\pir^2" where as "\pi r^2" builds
