Introduction
LaTeX, which is pronounced 'Lah-tech' or 'Lay-tech', is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. LaTeX is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX encourages authors not to worry too much about the appearance of their documents but to concentrate on getting the right content. LaTeX is based on the idea that it is better to leave document design to document designers, and to let authors get on with writing documents. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents and is available as free software.
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of LaTeX and will be able to prepare their Master or PhD thesis with LaTeX.
Speaker:
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Bakri Adam is the head of the Laboratory of Statistical and Computing Services, Institute for Mathematical Research (INSPEM), Universiti Putra Malaysia. He has 15 years of experience in using LaTeX and has conducted more than 27 workshops on LaTeX since 2008.
Who Should Attend
Postgraduate students, academicians, and researchers who wish to learn LaTeX for thesis preparation or LaTeX in general.
