The <math>\LaTeX</math> typesetting system (pronounced "Lay-Tek" by most, or "Lah-Tek" by some) is widely used to produce well-formatted [[math|mathematical]] and scientific writing. With <math>\LaTeX</math>, it is very easy to produce expressions like

\sqrt{\frac {a^2+b^2+c^2}3} \geq \frac {a+b+c}3 \geq \sqrt[3]{abc} \geq \frac 3 { \frac 1a + \frac 1b + \frac 1c } .

The $\textbf{\LaTeX}$ typesetting markup language (typically pronounced "lah-tek", but also sometimes "lay-tek", or "lay-tex") is widely used to produce well-formatted mathematical and scientific writing. $\text{\LaTeX}$ is very handy for writing equations such as

\[\sqrt[3]{\frac{4^2}{5}+\pi} \approx 1.9\]

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