ELEC 5970/6970
Technical Document Preparation with LATEX

Instructor: Stanley J. Reeves

This material was taught as a seminar course in Summer 2010. The class web page contains a large number of links to LATEX resources. It also has links to student-created tutorials on various aspects of LATEX and associated tools. Tutorials have beamer overheads and audio/video screen capture links.

I also claim to have the best-looking rendering of the LATEX symbol anywhere on the web that is produced purely in HTML text. Your browser mileage may vary. :-)
