Product Description
From a simple equation to a mathematical treatise, this practical guide offers an in-depth review of the mathematics typesetting aspects of the industry-leading typesetting software, LaTeX. Among the topics discussed in this manual are mathematics in line with normal text, the software's special mathematics mode, color in math expressions, and fonts and math. Handy features include a list of mathematical symbols for quick-reference, a survey of a wide range of additional mathematics packages--with a particular emphasis on the American Mathematical Society package--and ready-to-run examples to enable users to get going quickly.

Good book for reference
18 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
Herbert Voss is well-known as a maintainer of PsTricks package.
The publication of his manual on it in English language is
eagerly anticipated. In the mean time he published this manual
of LaTeX2e.
This is an interesting and enlightening publication. I have
been using LaTeX2e these thirteen years. There seems
nothing particularly new here for me. But the book is
well-written and well-organized. I imagine that it gives a good
working knowledge on LaTeX2e to the general readers.
But be warned; (1) the book's index is not so exhaustive as
Knuth's "TeX Book", and (2) the book is printed in
black-and-white format, whereas the author clearly has a more
varied colorful presentation in his mind.
