Description(excerpt from the LaTeX webpage):
LaTeX is a document preparation system for
high-quality typesetting.
It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific
documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
LaTeX is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX
encourages
authors not to worry too much about the
appearance of their
documents but to concentrate on getting the right content.
note:
The Math department is now offering a new course in LaTeX- Math 351,
starting Winter 2008
