What is LaTeX?

Latex project logo

LaTeX is a powerful document preparation system and is a free software. LaTeX is widely used in scientific communication and publication, including mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, and physics. It also plays an important role in the preparation and publication of books and articles that contain complex multilingual materials. LaTeX users can focus on document content, without worrying about the appearance of their documents. Users write plain text and an output file (such as PDF or DVI) is produced using a TeX distribution.
