Product Review
From earlier reviews of Math into Latex:
"There are several Latex guides, but this one wins hands down for the elegance of its approach and breadth of coverage."
--Amazon.com, Best of 2000, Editors Choice
"A very helpful and useful tool for all scientists and engineers."
--Review of Astronomical Tools
"A novice reader will be able to learn the most essential features of Latex sufficient to begin typesetting papers within a few hours of time . . . An experienced Tex user, on the other hand, will find a systematic and detailed discussion of all Latex features, supporting software, and many other advanced technical issues."
--Reports on Mathematical Physics
Book Description
"Gratzers book is a solution."
-European Mathematical Society Newsletter
For close to two decades, Math into Latex has been the standard introduction and complete reference for writing articles and books containing mathematical formulas. In this fourth edition, the reader is provided with important updates on articles and books. An important new topic is discussed: transparencies (computer projections).
Key features of More Math into Latex, 4th edition:
- Installation instructions for PC and Mac users
- An example-based, visual approach and a gentle introduction with the Short Course
- A detailed exposition of multiline math formulas with a Visual Guide
- A unified approach to Tex, Latex, and the AMS enhancements
- A quick introduction to creating presentations with computer projections

Customer Reviews & Comments
What new can I write about a book that is in its fourth edition, and has served the LaTeX community for almost two decades? There is a new chapter on presentations and an appendix on installing LaTeX on a PC and on a Mac, so you get help from the get go. Also, for the first time, this book merges TeX, LaTeX, and the AMS packages into one, smoothing the learning curve for beginner and advanced user alike. If you are new to this book, I should start by pointing out that you get two for the price of one. A sixty page Short Course gets you ready to type your first article in an afternoon or two. The plentiful sample files help you get started fast. The rest of the book presents a detailed survey of LaTeX: how to type text and math, document structure, presentations, customization, and long documents. Gratzer teaches by example: each new concept is introduced with examples and sample documents, so you learn by doing. Multiline math formulas is the most difficult topic of LaTeX. This is the only LaTeX book that dedicates 40 pages to this topic, trying to make it accessible with a Visual Guide and a verbal guide of how these multiline structures can be classified and understood. Gratzer teaches by distilling the most important information you need. For instance, Beamer, the presentation class he presents, has hundreds of commands and its documentation runs to hundreds of pages. The Beamer chapter selects twenty commands, so you should be on your way writing your first presentation in hours not weeks. This book has served me well when I started, and it is my constant companion, placed next to my computer when I type LaTeX.
