Hello everyone, I'm presenting for our meeting on 10/15. The topic will be on LaTeX. I've used LaTeX instead of Word or Open Office for all of my homework assignments for the past year and a half. It's not just for conference papers or presentations - you can make good looking single-page assignments with LaTeX too. Here are some possible things I can discuss. I would very much appreciate it if you would tell me what you want to know about, and if there's something you want to learn that I haven't listed.
Document classes - article, full page, presentation Making your own commands with \newcommand, \providecommand and \renewcommand Labels and references for sections, figures, equations, algorithms, or whatever you want to label Math notation in LaTeX - $$, \[\], \(\) align, align* What the * means after some commands Algorithms in LaTeX Figures with captions, configuring the display of figures, \includegraphics and options LaTeX in vim - plugins that help out Changing the font or font style with \emph, \it, and so on Using someone else's style document, like for a conference paper where they specify the format Bibliographies and citations Changing the layout of the page with \textwidth, \textheight, \topmargin and so on How to change a .tex to a .pdf - pdflatex or Chris Monson's LaTeX makefile
