Wow.

I now have LaTeX on my computer. I need to learn to use it, but it makes me happy. It took about half of forever to install, though.

I wrote close to half a page on the potential influence of Stems on my future understanding of spectroscopy. I'm impressed?

And now off to bed.

Edit: Has anyone encountered "Mathematicians do it in LaTeX" in any of those "X do it in Y" lists? It occurred to me sometime last year. I can't believe that someone else wouldn't have had a similar train of thought.

A google search didn't turn up any hits. But I know that I've said it and heard it said.

As for learning LaTeX, The Not So Short Guide to LaTeX was a great resource for me when I learned LaTeX. I'll see if I can dig up any of the other references I used. If you have questions I'm willing to try answering them, although I am not a LaTeX guru.

That's what I learned from; I'd recommend it too.

Also, the CS terminal room (and maybe the math lounge, I don't remember) have copies of varoius useful LaTeX books.
