I remember getting reprimanded in school for my chicken scratch, and now here we are in the electronic publishing age... who cares? So funny in retrospect. <br /><br />Now I just need to figure out how to get my PI to let me use LaTeX.

I wrote my undergrad thesis in LaTeX. If your school has a thesis template, I think she could easily convert it from Word.<br /><br />I always love spreading the gospel about LaTeX. I try to teach it to as many people as I can.<br /><br />Also, you should check out Beamer instead of PowerPoint. My husband likes it a lot, and I'm going to use it for my next presentation.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(LaTeX)Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481001930714468704.post-36492359929963153482009-05-06T10:42:00.000-04:002009-05-06T10:42:00.000-04:00The majority of the math courses at my school requ...The majority of the math courses at my school require the homework to be handed in on LaTeX. I dove LaTeX a few weeks ago to make a poster of my research (it came out fabulous). I love how you can use PDF's of pictures within the document to get the best resolution possible on huge documents like posters... Next step is to get the bibliography libraries set up...<br /><br />I can't wait until I can fully wean myself off of MS Word..Eugeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312243477847551650noreply@blogger.com
