Abstract

The package of macros for text processing called LaTeX, which uses the TeX as its main tool, is fundamental for producing high level mathematical and scientific texts with professional layout. The need to know its language is even more stressed for practitioners and students of Natural Sciences. Besides adequate for mathematical notation, LaTeX has many other advantages, as being free and virus-free. For those reasons, the short course “Introduction to LaTeX” was given at the I Semana da Matem ́atica da Unifal-MG, invited by its organizing committee.
