AI Thread Summary
LaTeX is a typesetting system widely used for formatting mathematical and scientific documents, enhancing readability and presentation. It allows users to create complex equations and symbols, such as \mu, \alpha, and \tau, with improved clarity. For inline math, using itex and /itex is recommended, while tex and /tex are better for standalone equations. This system is particularly favored in academic and technical fields for its precision and versatility. Understanding LaTeX can significantly improve the quality of mathematical documentation.

What is this LaTeX thing people post about?

It makes the \mu \alpha \tau \eta \varsigma look better and more readable.
 
It's a bit better if itex and /itex are used for math in a line of text, and tex and /tex are used for a stand-alone line of math.
