Practical LaTeX (Paperback, 2014 ed.)

"Practical LaTeX" covers the material that is needed for everyday LaTeX documents. This accessible manual is friendly, easy to read, and is designed to be as portable as LaTeX itself.

A short chapter, "Mission Impossible," introduces LaTeX documents and presentations. Read these 30 pages; you then should be able to compose your own work in LaTeX. The remainder of the book delves deeper into the topics outlined in "Mission Impossible" while avoiding technical subjects. Chapters on presentations and illustrations are a highlight, as is the introduction of LaTeX on an iPad.
Students, faculty, and professionals in the worlds of mathematics and technology will benefit greatly from this new, practical introduction to LaTeX. George Gratzer, author of "More Math into LaTeX" (now in its 4th edition) and "First Steps in LaTeX," has been a LaTeX guru for over a quarter of century.
