About this title

Synopsis

Kopka and Daly provide a highly accessible tutorial for users new to LaTeX. Fully revised to cover the latest version of LaTeX, this second edition presents a thorough explanation of the internals of the system. LaTeX commands not available within the earlier version of LaTeX are highlighted, making the book useful for users still working with the earlier release.

About the Author

Helmut Kopka was involved in writing one of the first TEX drivers for HP LaserJet and subsequently introduced TEX and LATEX into his home institute, where it has become the standard text processing system.

Patrick W. Daly has written formatting styles for several scientific journals, and has invented a widely-used system for customizing bibliographic styles for use with LATEX.

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
