Experiment 11

Study of LATEX for


scientific documents
and report writing.

1
What is LaTex?
 LATEX is a tool used to create
professional-looking documents.
 It is based on the WYSIWYM (what you
see is what you mean) idea.
 Meaning you only have focus on the
contents of your document and the
computer will take care of the formatting.

2
Why learn LATEX?
 Used all over the world for scientific
documents, books, as well as many other
forms of publishing.
 Not only can it create beautifully typeset
documents, but it allows users to very
quickly tackle the more complicated parts
of typesetting, such as
 inputting mathematics,
 creating tables of contents,
 referencing and creating bibliographies
 consistent layout across all sections.
3
Why learn LATEX?
 One of the most important reasons people
use LATEX is that it separates the
content of the document from the style.
 Means that once you have written the
content of your document, you can change
its appearance with ease.
 Similarly, you can create one style of
document.
 Scientific journals to create templates for
submissions.
4
Why learn LATEX?
 These templates have a pre-made layout
meaning that only the content needs to be
added.
 There are hundreds of templates available
for everything from CVs to slideshows.

5
Content
 Basic of LaTex
 title, author and date
 comments
 Bold, italics and underlining
 lists
 Images
 Tables
 Math Equation
6
Basic of LaTex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
First document. This is a simple example,
with no extra parameters or packages
included.
\end{document}

7
Basic of LaTex
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
First document. This is a simple example.
\end{document}

8
Title, author and date

 \title{First document}

 \author{Hubert Farnsworth}

 \date{December 2021}

9
Title, author and date
\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper,
twoside]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\title{First document}
\author{Bhargav Dave}
\date{December 2021}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
We have now added a title, author and
date to our first document!
\end{document}
10
Comment
 Comment will start with %
 Comment content will not be printed in
the document.

11
Bold, italics and underlining

 Bold:
 Bold text in LaTeX is written with the
\textbf{...} command.
 Italics:
 Italicised text in LaTeX is written with the
\textit{...} command.
 Underline:
 Underlined text in LaTeX is written with
the \underline{...} command.

12
Lists
 Unordered lists
 Item1
 Item2
 Item3
 Ordered lists
1. Item1
2. Item2
3. Item3

13
Unordered lists

\begin{itemize}
\item Item1
\item Item2
\end{itemize}

14
Ordered lists
 \begin{enumerate}
\item Item1
\item Item2
\end{enumerate}

15
Images
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{Image1}
\caption{Image1}
\label{fig:Image1}
\end{figure}
\end{document} 16
Parameter Position
h Place the float here,
i.e., approximately at the same point it
occurs in the source text (however,
not exactly at the spot)
t Position at the top of the page.

b Position at the bottom of the page.

p Put on a special page for floats only.

! Override internal parameters LaTeX


uses for determining "good" float
positions.
H Places the float at precisely the location
in the LATEX code. Requires
the float package, though may cause
problems occasionally. This is somewhat
equivalent to h!.

Tables
\begin{tabel}
\begin{tabular}{ c c c }
cell1 & cell2 & cell3 \\
cell4 & cell5 & cell6 \\
cell7 & cell8 & cell9
\end{tabular}
\end{tabel}

18
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c| }
\hline
cell1 & cell2 & cell3 \\
cell4 & cell5 & cell6 \\
cell7 & cell8 & cell9 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Table to test captions and labels}
\label{table:data}
\end{center} 19
Math
 For inline mode equation use one of
these delimiters: \( ... \), $ ... $ or
\begin{equation} ... \end{equation}.

 $E=mc^2$
 \[ E=mc^2 \]
 \begin{equation}
E=m
\end{equation} 20
Math
 Subscripts
 a_b
 Superscripts
 a^b
 Integrals
