mathslover one year ago Brief introduction to LaTeX .

1. mathslover

LaTeX is like a language. A computer based language which allows us to post the equations in a good and suitable format. x^2/ 4 does not look good while : $$\cfrac{x^2}{4}$$ looks good. Similarly , if we are having long equations : x^2 + 3x + 9 -x^3 /2 I can write the same as : $$x^2 +3x + 9 -\cfrac{x^3}{2}$$ It also allows you to post some greetings , texts . Suppose you want to greet a person happy birthday, you will write : Happy Birthday! But if I write the same as : $$\color{blue}{\cal{Happy} \space { Birthday!}} \ddot \smile$$ It looks better. Basically , LaTeX is used for equations only, though many of the users use it as for textx greetings also. You can also write them in different sizes : $$\begin{array}{} \tiny \textbf {hi}\\ \scriptsize \textbf {hi}\\ \small \textbf {hi}\\ \textbf {hi}\\ \large \textbf {hi}\\ \Large \textbf {hi}\\ \LARGE \textbf {hi}\\ \huge \textbf {hi}\\ \Huge \textbf {hi}\\ \end{array}$$ You can also use different colours to make LaTeX look beautiful . \color{colorname} Like : $$\color{blue}{\textbf {hi}}$$  $$\color{blue}{\textbf {hi}}$$
