Creating Documents Using LATEX

A Brief Introduction


TEX is a typesetting system designed and mostly written by DonaldKnuth starting in the late 1970s.

LATEX is a document markup language and document preparationsystem for the TEX typesetting program originally written in theearly 1980s by Leslie Lamport. It essentially comprises a collectionof TEX macros and a program to process LATEX documents.

MiKTEX is an implementation of TEX and related programs forMicrosoft Windows.

TEXnicCenter is an integrated environment for creating LATEXdocuments on the Windows platform.

TEX, LATEX, MiKTEX, and TEXnicCenter are free software.
