Professional LaTeX Typesetting

You have seen the clean, professional look of scientific papers, theses, and technical books, and you want your own documents to look that good. LaTeX is the tool behind much of that work, but the first compile and its error messages can be intimidating.

Professional LaTeX Typesetting takes you from a first document to publication-quality output. You can follow along in your browser or on your own machine. You will learn document structure and text formatting, then mathematical typesetting for equations and symbols. The book covers figures, graphics, and float management, and tables and structured data. You will manage bibliographies and citations, control page layout with headers and footers, and build slide decks with Beamer.

Later chapters show you how to write custom commands and environments to save time, and how to work with collaborators on Overleaf. By the end, you will understand how LaTeX works well enough to produce polished documents and fix problems when they appear.
