The 
typesetting system (typically pronounced "Lah-Tek is widely used to produce well-formatted mathematical and scientific writing. is very handy for producing equations such as
![\[\frac 25\cdot13=\frac{26}{5}\cdot1=\sqrt{\tfrac{676}{25}}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/c/5/ec5a61281f2aeacab39d5938895e2058c4122511.png)
and
![\[3^n=\underbrace{3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\dots}_{n\text{ copies of 3}}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/7/2/37290733996afced520e3d60d70b4292457f6c6e.png)
Nearly every serious math or science student will use frequently. Through these web pages, you will learn much of what you'll need to express math and science like a professional.

- Main article: Asymptote
Asymptote is a powerful vector graphics language designed for creating mathematical diagrams and figures. It can output images in either eps or pdf format and is compatible with the standard mathematics typesetting language, LaTeX. It is also a complete programming language and has cleaner syntax than its predecessor, MetaPost. Asymptote is very handy for producing diagrams such as the ones below:

$ tags. For example, the following code
<asy>
draw((0,0)--(3,7),red);
dot((0,0));
dot((3,7));
label("Produced with Asymptote "+version.VERSION,point(S),2S);
</asy>
created the picture
![[asy] draw((0,0)--(3,7),red); dot((0,0)); dot((3,7)); label("Produced with Asymptote "+version.VERSION,point(S),2S); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/8/8/d88f3bbba665110715eb36189c8dc425965c3be9.png)
And on the AoPS forums you can use [asy]..[/asy]
Another example:
[asy] pair A,B,C,X,Y,Z; A = (0,0); B = (1,0); C = (0.3,0.8); draw(A--B--C--A); X = (B+C)/2; Y = (A+C)/2; Z = (A+B)/2; draw(A--X, red); draw(B--Y,red); draw(C--Z,red); [/asy]
![[asy] pair A,B,C,X,Y,Z; A = (0,0); B = (1,0); C = (0.3,0.8); draw(A--B--C--A); X = (B+C)/2; Y = (A+C)/2; Z = (A+B)/2; draw(A--X, red); draw(B--Y,red); draw(C--Z,red); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/5/5/15593c90ce20b22893a1bd76ac6d5f6e3b61f5bb.png)
In a sense, Asymptote seems to be the ruler and compass of graphical typesetting.
