Getting Started with LaTex for Graduate Students

LaTeX is a document preparation system widely used in many STEM fields. As an alternative to MS Word or Google Docs, LaTeX specializes in the creation of professional documents, and excels in typesetting equations, inserting figures and graphics, and managing references.

If you haven’t used it before there is a learning curve, but once you are familiar with some basic commands you can create professional-looking documents very easily! This workshop will provide a quick overview of core LaTeX features and will get you started with a simple document in Overleaf.

Note: No previous knowledge of LaTeX is required, but it is recommended that you claim your free Overleaf Professional account (external link)   (external link) before the session in order to participate in practice exercises.

Instructor: Nora Mulvaney, Engineering Librarian
