Writing Mathematics<\/h2>\n\n\n\nOverview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When writing beautiful mathematical documents, we have a number of choices. Often workflow dictates the process we should follow, be it article submission or collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Word, Google Docs, Etc\n
\n- Pros: Very familiar, easy collaboration, and simple formatting. There is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) so you know how things look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cons: Equations tools are clunky, formatting is somewhat limited. There is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) so you are limited in how much control you have over formatting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- LaTeX\n
\n- Pros: Industry standard for mathematical typesetting. There is little or no WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) present. You concentrate more on content rather than formatting. The formatting comes later and is readily modifiable. Output is usually PDF, DVI (a legacy output format), but can be HTML, EPUB, PostScript, SVG, and Word when utilizing other tools..<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cons: Steep learning curve. There is little or no WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) present. It can be difficult giving up control of formatting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- LaTeX Distributions\n
\n- Overleaf<\/a> This is a free, online LaTeX editor, but requires an internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- TeXLive <\/a>This is a rather large, free download for LaTeX. Platforms include Windows, MacOS, and Linux.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- MiKTeX <\/a>This is another large, free download for LaTeX. Platforms include Windows, MacOS, and Linux.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Front Ends. These should all be free and run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. For you coders out there, this is like an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). They give the user varying degrees of support when writing LaTeX code.\n
