TECHNICAL WRITING WITH LATEXThis will be a brainstorming course for the people who are about to initiate their research career. The students
are introduced to the various research aspects such as how to read and write a Technical paper/Report/Thesis and
further improve their reading, writing and presentation skills by providing hands-on experience to the State-of-Art
tools.LaTeX is very well suited for preparing technical/scientific documents, especially the ones which involve
extensive use of mathematical equations, symbols, tables, figures, bibliography management and properly cite
them as and when required in the document. The document prepared using LaTeX will be a support in preparing
many technical Reports/Thesis/Journals. The course is designed in a way such that a student with very little knowledge in LaTeX can also typeset
the document with ease. The basic pre-requisite is that the participant is equipped with required IT tools and able
to write scripting codes as and when the instructor does it in the browser OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE 1)Create professional presentations using LATEX; using both the beamer and the power dot
packages.
2) Enhance your documents further: bring color into your documents, and learn how to create
feature rich PDF documents with bookmarks, hyperlinks, and meta-data.
3) By mid-term in the course you will have learned enough LATEX to become a self-learner and
begin investigating and learning new LATEX packages on your own. )Create basic types of LATEX documents (article, report, letter, book)
5) Format words, lines, and paragraphs, design pages, create lists, tables, references, and figures in
LATEX.
6) Typeset complicated mathematics: beginning with basic formulas (inline) and centered and
numbered equations (display math) and aligning multi-line equations. In particular, you will
learn how to typeset mathematics symbols such as roots, arrows, Greek letters, and a wide
variety of mathematical operators. Furthermore, you will learn how to build complex math
structures such as fractions, stacked expressions, and matrices.
7) Import graphics, as well as enhancing figures and plotting functions, using the graphic packages.
8) Listing content and references creating a table of contents and lists of figures and tables; as well
as how to cite books, create bibliographies, and generate an index.
9) Develop large documents: create complex projects building upon sub-files.SummaryCourse Status :UpcomingCourse Type :Core CourseDuration :8 weeksStart Date :1 January 2023End Date :28 February 2023Exam Date : To be shared later Enrollment Ends :11 January 2023Category :MultidisciplinaryCredit Points :4Level :Undergraduate
