LaTeX, grad school

Filed under: — PugMajere @ 9:00 pm

In the interests in doubling up some learning this weekend, I spent 5 or 6 hours using LaTeX to do some homework for my graduate-level Databases Class. (Aside: I’m attending Grad School at Oakland University now. I kinda missed going to school. On the other hand, I kinda miss free-time now. but whatever.) So, I really am intrigued by the power LaTeX has. The learning curve on it is a bit daunting at first, but once you get the hang of typing out equations in it, it’s really not so bad.
I don’t think I could imagine using anything else to do equation-laden things in the future…. So, for anyone reading this and pondering how to handle equation-laden stuff - I really don’t think there are any realistic options for you, outside of learning LaTeX. If anyone is interested, post a comment and I’ll put up the raw .tex file I used for this. (Well, after I turn the homework in. Gotta have some ethics.)
