I don't understand. Why can't you just type something like 4x=20 into a
word document? That is, unless this isn't what you mean by an equation.

Hi Ester,
Nope. I think you explained it really well. I'm not sure if you covered using
it for anything, but you definitely can. It's not just limited to mathematical
equations, however. I think that is important to note, though I'm sure Ester
did cover it. People have been seen using it to wr
Hi Esther and Ryan,
I just wanted to chime in here with some of my own experiences regarding LaTeX
- hope that's okay. When I first began using Mac OS X, there was no accessible
way for me to insert footnotes and other information into my assignments.
After doing some research on the net I di

You could try the MacTex package which can be found at:
http://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/cmactex/
The TexShop application which comes as part of the package is an all-in-one
package for creating and compling Latex.

Hi,
I have, and it's a pain. I do find LaTEX a much easier solution. The code you
write can practically determine the appearance, which makes it amazing. But I'm
going to experiment with this as a newbie. Again, thanks a lot for your help.

No bother Nick. Have to say that I wholeheartedly approve of that
requirement... If you've never tried to insert equations into a word doc, be
very grateful. That kind of experience should be reserved for the truly
masochistic. *smile*

Hi Donal,
I definitely will. Thanks a lot for the tips, and great someone knows about
this. It's a requirement in my country for mathematical studies. I'll
definitely throw some questions your way.

Yep I find TeXshop fine. I use it to prepare academic papers and lectures.
Another useful utility by the way is the BibDesc one. It's a very very useful
tool for organising bibliographies.
As you're learning LaTeX, feel free to contact me off list if any questions
arise.

Hi,
Hmm. Yeah, I heard of TeXShop. I've always spelt it LaTEX, with L capitalized,
including TEX but not the a. It didn't seem to matter much how I w typed it,
though. But thanks for the recommendation. I assume TeXShop is accessible, then.

Hi Nick,
I use TeXShop. By the way, know what you mean about the dangers of googling
this... To improve your hits, spell it "L Aa T e X" (that is, the L, T and X
capitalised).
