Description:

The Topics in Research Computing Series is a six-session workshop series showing you how to scale up your computational research in ways you might not have thought possible.

Sessions meet on Thursdays at 1 p.m. CDT; most are one and a half hours long. 

Introduction to LaTeX
Do you get tired of formatting your documents? This 90-minute workshop will present LaTeX, a typesetting program where you write in a plain text environment. It includes features to create production/publication-quality technical and scientific documents and presentations from plain text content. LaTeX interpreter formats the spacing, equations, graphics, tables, references, and many more throughout your documents with simple commands. This introductory workshop will cover basic formatting commands for various elements of your documents and familiarize you with development environments for personal and collaborative LaTeX writing, such as Overleaf.  

Prerequisites: This workshop is appropriate for all researchers; no prior knowledge of LaTeX is required. Please bring your laptop to follow along; software installation instructions will be provided before the workshop.
