What is LATEX ?

LATEX is a document preparation system

It is used for high-quality typesetting

Just concentrate on text, don’t worry about output.

With it, you can create beautiful, professional lookingdocuments

What is LATEX ?

Who developed it ?

It was dicovered by Donald Knuth.

Professor of “The Art of ComputerProgramming” at Stanford University.

He is a father of algorithm analysis.

Story behind it ?

When Donald Ervin Knuth was working on his book“The Art of Programming” was not happy with thetype-setting for his book. So he created a type-settingsystem that would let him concentrate on the content ofthe book rather than getting the type-setting softwaredistracting and getting him worried about formattingthe output. Thats why He designed TEX.

Printing industry of LATEX

Shiping industry named ‘River Valley’ in kerala.

Founded by CV Radhakrishnan.

Aim of industry

For over twenty years they haveworked to perfect our text processingsystemThey get the dirty documents(madein Ms office or in any otherprocessors) and convert intobeautiful documents.

In the end I would like to say:

“If you care about creating polished and stylish documents,and if you have a sense of aesthetics, try LaTeX! Believe me,you’ll fall in love with it and use it for the rest of your life!”
