Latex References:

Tex Users Group (TUG):  Extensive information on all aspects of Tex, including applications and installation on various platforms, additional packages, etc.

Guide to Latex, by Helmut Kopka and Patrick Daly, 4th edition:  An excellent overall guide to typesetting and managing documents.  Even better, it is available free online!  The link provided should get you there from an EIU computer, but if not, or if you are off campus, log in to the Booth Library site, click on "Books, Videos, & More" at left, then on "E-books", then on "Safari Tech Books Online";  then search for the title or author.

Math into Latex:  An introduction to latex and AMS-Latex, by George Gratzer:  An older but also excellent and very readable general guide.  I have a copy in my office, which you are welcome to borrow for short periods as needed.

Introduction to Latex
:  A slide presentation by Drs. Broline, Mertz, and Slough of the EIU Math & Computer Science Department, which gives a nice quick overview.
