Tired of aligning with the space bar in Word? LaTeX is the golden standard of typesetting in academia and beyond. In this single-session event, we will see how easy it is to create professional-looking documents in LaTeX. We'll start with the basics of LaTeX typography, learn how to typeset math like a pro, dive into macros, and finish with a glimpse of powerful LaTeX packages like Biblatex (for bibliography and references), opencv (for flawlessly typeset CV and resumes), and Beamer (PowerPoint-killer).
The room comes with Athena machines for real-time practice. Bring your own document that you want typeset in LaTeX! It can be a paper, a resume, a presentation, or more.
