I've been typing up all my papers/homework in Maple 12 but numerous professors have suggested I get LaTeX or Tek (is what I think he said, may have been "tex"-he has a thick german accent). Anyway, I googled a bit and found various links to various programs and codes and everything but I can't decide what I would need and what I would not need. A quick reference manual would also be great.

Also, if this is posted in the wrong section, I apologize and will move it if directed but "General Math" was the only place where I thought I could get a good answer.

Thanks.

Physics news on Phys.org

Both of these have everything packaged together, and are relatively easy to setup.

LaTeX is pronounced latek. The "X" is actually a greak chi. Personally I use TeXmaker on windows.
 
Thanks for the replies, all. I'll look into each.
