LaTeX Software

  • Before completing the "read LaTeX software and compile template1.tex" assignment, complete the 2 interactive videos in ASULearn first: capstone course intro + LaTeX intro
  • https://www.overleaf.com/ compiles in your browser in real time. You can copy and paste code into the online environment and LaTex it there. You can also upload images as needed. A variety of different LaTeX programs are loaded in various computer labs across campus, if you prefer working there.
  • Download the LaTeX template template1.tex for part 1 of the course project and try LaTeX'ing it.

    If you would like to download LaTeX on your computer, note that it is free and open access.
  • The Mathematical Sciences LaTeX page includes information about a variety of software packages
  • Sydney Bentley, a graduate of our program and as of last note a Principal Software Engineer at isolved, advised: Hey everyone, this is the latex editor I found. It has spell check, auto-completion, and actually gives hints for fixing your code:

    This site lets you create a table that is much like excel and then generates the latex code for you:
    http://www.tablesgenerator.com/
    And if you google "latex generator" a number of equation generators will come up that can also be useful. It let's you see what the equation will look like before actually compiling the code in your doc.
    I hope this stuff is helpful in the future!
  • Personally I use the TeXShop front end (with MacTeX as the back end) on my Mac.

    I am happy to help in office hours or the ASULearn forums!
