Presentation:

Introduction to TeX, presented by Rob Judd.

TeX is a complete desktop publishing system for creating professional
quality typeset pages of any kind.  It is especially good at typesetting
mathematics.  TeX is free and has been ported to almost every platform. 
Moreover, documents written with TeX are entirely portable; the same
input file will produce the same output file on any TeX implementation.  

We will briefly cover installing and setting up TeX under any Unix
system.  The rest of the talk will be devoted to using TeX, from writing
your first document to understanding some of its more powerful
features.  Along the way I hope to explain some of the details behind
how the program works, and give some information on maintaining a TeX
distribution.  Most of the examples will use LaTeX, a package of macros
that runs on top of TeX.
