Where to Learn LaTeX for Mathematics?

[bacte2013]

Hello! I am trying to write my notes in mathematics to permanently store my knowledge, and I am trying to learn LaTeX but it is quite difficult for me...Could you recommend me some sources and books to learn LaTeX for mathematics?

There are certain TeX editors which have interfaces that make it easier to get the hang of. I like TeXmaker or TeXstudio. They basically have menus where you can find what you are looking for (for example an integral sin which will give you \int and a partial derivative symbol for \partial. Eventually you will just memorize it. Also, I have been able to answer most of my questions from Wikipedia or TeX stack-exchange

I would go right to the source for my materials https://latex-project.org/guides/books.html#latex-english

I would also listen to radium, as a WYSIWYG interpreter will greatly assist you in learning the syntax. I like Lyx myself, but it's a matter of style.

In writing up notes, content is more important than layout.

In my opinion, (assuming you already have a setup [editor/interface , latex compiler, etc...] that you like)
it's best to start with a simple example and modify it from there.

If you see a layout on the web that you like, try to obtain its source .tex file.

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics might be a good place to start.
No need to get overwhelmed with too many details from a book.
As needed, you can search the web [e.g. stackexchange, as suggested by @radium ] to do something fancier.

It might help if you can be more specific about what you find "quite difficult".

I'm working my way through this primer at the moment. It seems like a good start.

I basically started using the Wikibook linked by @robphy and have just slowly learned new tricks as I've used the software.

Another good starting point is The Not So Short Introduction to $\LaTeX 2\varepsilon$.

Hey buddy great Post,

I found something helpful which I want to share as I was browsing the web for learning some coding algorithms it was very difficult to visit different sites at a time but I found a site named https://hackr.io/

I went here and found that the stuff from best programming sites were all allocated at a single place so I just thought of sharing with you all...

I hope it will help you
