Howdy!

This is the hub of the Carleton Physics LaTeX Jupyter workshop. This wiki page contains lots of information to help you get acquainted with LaTeX Python (via Jupyter) and resources to help you once you get the basics down. Rather than finding a compiler and downloading packages that will work on your computer, this tutorial has you work with Overleaf Jupyter, a free online compiler. You can create projects, store them in the cloud, and get immediate feedback on your work with the online compiler. After you create an Overleaf accountAfter you find a computer with Jupyter (or install it on your own computer), you should begin by looking at and working through the Getting Started with LaTeX guide Python Tutorial in this wiki. Once you work through the exercises in the Getting Started guide, you should be able to use any of the bare-bones templates for the task you need to accomplish. These templates have many of the initial document codes, but are otherwise blank so that you can begin adding text.

Additional resources

There are many excellent LaTeX resources available at Carleton and on the Internet.

LaTeX Wikibook

The LaTeX Wikibook is an excellent (and very thorough!) guide to many features of LaTeX, ranging from the most basic commands to extremely advanced techniques. Highly recommended.

DeTeXify

This site can find the LaTeX command for hand-drawn math symbols. Great when you just can't remember how to make a φ!

TeX Stack Exchange

Stack Exchange is a network of sites where users can ask and answer questions. The TeX-LaTeX Stack Exchange is a great resource for finding answers to both common and esoteric questions—but be careful! Not every answer is good!

Google

A search engine is an invaluable resource for learning any new technology. Not sure how to typeset an integral? Baffled by a cryptic error message? Just Google it!

Your peers

You're not the only one using LaTeX at Carleton! Ask around. Someone has probably already had the same problem you do!
