LaTeX for Researchers – A Practical Guide

LaTeX is an open source (free) tool that could be used to create scientific documents, like papers, thesis, technical reports. It could even be used to develop structured CVs, presentations, and letters as well. The foundation section contains beginner level topics which help in using LaTeX over different formats, structure the documents, preparing sections, doing formatings, and working around small level mistakes. The advance topics cover a variety of discussions for scientific writing with LaTeX. These including equations, tables, figures, bibliography, and citations. I intend to cover thesis-level formating guidelines for PhD and MPhil researchers. Additionally, Journal-level topics may be covered in the futurer. Go through the topics below as per your need.
