Pressestimmen
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, Editor’s 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
Kurzbeschreibung
This is the fourth edition of the standard introductory text and complete reference for scientists in all disciplines, as well as engineers. This fully revised version includes important updates on articles and books as well as information on a crucial new topic: how to create transparencies and computer projections, both for classrooms and professional meetings. The text maintains its user-friendly, example-based, visual approach, gently easing readers into the secrets of Latex with The Short Course. Then it introduces basic ideas through sample articles and documents. It includes a visual guide and detailed exposition of multiline math formulas, and even provides instructions on preparing books for publishers.

Format:Taschenbuch
Ich habe soeben dieses Buch gekauft und bin irritiert. Der Titel "More Math Into LaTeX" erweckt den Anschein, dass es in diesem Buch speziell um den mathematischen Schriftsatz und den professionellen Umgang mit mathematischen Konstrukten geht. Das ist leider nicht so, denn dieser Teil geht nicht über das hinaus, was man auch im Internet und - oft besser dargestellt - auch in vielen anderen einführenden LaTeX-Büchern findet. Der Rest ist eine brav gemachte Zusammenstellung der wichtigsten LaTeX-Elemente, wobei einzelne Teile deutlich über dem Einsteiger-Niveau liegen und daher auch für Fortgeschrittene interessant sind. Enttäuschend (speziell für ein LaTeX-Buch!) ist zudem der unübersichtliche Schriftsatz. Die vielen Aufzählungen und Kodebeispiele zerfleddern das Seitenbild und machen das Buch schwer lesbar, es sieht alles aus wie ein Draft. Insgesamt gibt es zu diesem Thema wesentlich bessere Handbücher.

A beginner's perspective
17. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I was a graduate student in math and faced the daunting task of typing my thesis. It was bad enough that I was inexperienced in writing math, but I was also a novice in LaTeX.
I tried two well-known books. In one, there is a Part I, Basics. This is for me, I thought. Unfortunately, it is 200 pages long and does not cover such elementary topics as the "cases" structure. For that, I had to go to page 288. The other book had "cases" hidden on page 238, under the title "Matrix like environments". Not very helpful.
What a relief it was when I came across this book. It helped me set up LaTeX on my Dell notebook (why do other books assume that you already have a LaTeX installation?). Then I downloaded the sample files as instructed and read the really easy 60 page Part I (Short Course). I worked through the text and examples in less than a day. Then I started writing my thesis.
In my spare time, I gave the rest of the book a cursory reading. Occasionally, I need to go beyond what is covered in the Short Course. For instance, as an analyst, I need complicated integrals not covered in Part I. (They are easy to find: in Part II, in the chapter on typing math.) And when the time came to give a presentation on my thesis, I went beyond the Short Course's section on presentations to Chapter 14, and I used Beamer!
Everybody was impressed.
Now I am Jim Whitby Ph.D. Thank you George for the help.

The one LaTeX book to have
14. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
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.

Az expert's take
19. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I am a LaTeX programmer and instructor. This weekend, I finally had time to read Part I of this book, Short Course, and paged through the other parts.
What a pleasure! Grätzer has an amazing talent to say exactly what is important, without putting in extras that will distract a reader.
You'd think that by this time I'd know enough LaTeX to, at least, get through the Short Course without learning anything new; but instead I ran into trick after trick that I didn't know. I use Beamer but I didn't know FoilTeX, the presentation package used in the Short Course. It's a great idea to let tell users very early on how to make a presentation from their papers, and then leave Beamer for full treatment later.
I very much like Appendix A, holding the reader's hand as LaTeX is installed. Then the three "productivity tools" are introduced, explaining how to use these tools on both platforms, and leaving the rest of the user interface for later, leisurely exploration, making it really quick for users to start using LaTeX.
Very early in the introduction, Grätzer talks about "the three layers" (TeX, LaTeX, and the AMS packages) and, from the beginning, use all three seamlessly. This is a radical new idea. It will substantially reduce the learning curve -- my students will appreciate it. The wonderful foreword by Rainer Schöpf (one of the two lead programmers of AMS-LaTeX) makes the role of the AMS packages clear in the historical development of modern LaTeX.
I really like the way you got to "Lines too wide" so early in the Short Course, explaining to the user the cause of the problem and solutions. Why do most books postpone this?
I better not go on and on. Just wanted to write these few lines about my enjoyment as I read this wonderful material.
