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!
