back to LaTeX

Post by nickpe »

Hello, I'm Nick, I am 18 Y/o and from The Netherlands.

I am a Linux enthusiast and my interests are science, computers, literature and philosophy. Despite my what some might call geeky interest, I like going out and spending time with my friends, even though they don't share my interests.

I originally came to this forum because I was trying to make a math cheat-sheet using LaTeX, but had difficulties aligning the formulas. I got the answer to my question, but I noticed LaTeX has a high learning curve.
So I ended up writing my sheet in abiword (a FOSS WYSIWYG text editor with LaTeX formula support.)

However I recently reconsidered my choice not to learn LaTeX, I will be enrolling in university in 2 weeks and i believe that learning LaTeX will be beneficial in the long term.

Best regards,

Nick

P.S. I am dyslectic but please don't hesitate to point out or correct my spell/grammar mistakes.

I think you will not regret your choice. LaTeX could become an indispensable part of your university life (and perhaps beyond).


Best regards and welcome to the board
