Installation
No Install
Use Overleaf to create latex documents in a web browser.
Partial Install
Download MikTex. It includes the TeXworks editor and will download packages as you use them. This will not take up as much disk space as a full install.
Full Install
Windows
Download TexLive. This is several gigabytes since it includes all the popular LaTex packages and takes a while to install. You'll also need an editor. I recommend installing Atom with the following packages:
latex
for calling the TexLive compilerlanguage-latex
for syntax highlightingpdf-view
for viewing the compiled pdf.
Linux
sudo apt install texlive-full
Compile tex documents with
pdflatex [mydocument.tex]
Usage
Fancy Math Font
See this answer.
% Use mathbb for the set of reals R or the set of complex numbers C
% Requires amsfonts
\mathbb{R}
Spaces
See Reference
Spaces in mathematical mode.
\begin{align*}
f(x) =& x^2\! +3x\! +2 \\
f(x) =& x^2+3x+2 \\
f(x) =& x^2\, +3x\, +2 \\
f(x) =& x^2\: +3x\: +2 \\
f(x) =& x^2\; +3x\; +2 \\
f(x) =& x^2\ +3x\ +2 \\
f(x) =& x^2\quad +3x\quad +2 \\
f(x) =& x^2\qquad +3x\qquad +2
\end{align*}
