The $\text{\LaTeX}$ typesetting system (typically pronounced "Lah-Tek", but also sometimes "Lay-tek", "Lah-tekh", or "Lah-tex") is widely used to produce well-formatted mathematical and scientific writing. $\text{\LaTeX}$ is very handy for producing equations such as

$1+2+3+4+5+\sin \pi = \frac{5\cdot 6}{2}+0=15.$

Nearly every serious student of math or science will use $\text{\LaTeX}$ frequently. Through these web pages, you will learn much of what you'll need to express math and science like a professional, much, much better than writing papers with Word!

-'''LaTeX''' is a typesetting language used primarily to type mathematical stuff in an elegant fashion. For example, without LaTeX, <math>\frac{35}{137}</math> would have to be written as 35/137.  To use LaTeX in the forums, enclose your LaTeX code with dollar signs: $your codes here$.  To use LaTeX on AoPSWiki, enclose your code with math tags instead of dollar signs, like so: <nowiki><math>your codes here</math></nowiki>

-'''\frac{a}{b}''' Produces a common fraction with [[numerator]] ''a'' and [[denominator]] ''b''.

-'''\text{Your Text Here}''' Produces text within LaTeX.
-'''\sqrt{x}''' Produces the square root of ''x''.
-'''a\equiv b \bmod{c}''' Produces a is equivalent to b, mod c.
-'''{9\choose 3}''' Produces 9 choose 3.
-Note that on AoPSWiki, many codes that work on the AoPS forums do not work.  Also, a helpful tip is that if LaTeX fails to render within AoPSWiki, try adding the code \displaystyle to the beginning of the string of LaTeX.  This often fixes minor rendering problems.
