LaTeX - Full Tutorial for Beginners

[@hossamyoussef2138]

Your work is not just a tutorial; it’s a masterclass in sharing knowledge with grace and precision. It’s evident that you’ve poured not only your expertise but also your passion into creating this resource, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

[@mikelravizza756]

a 4 hour video .about LaTeX? I could never actually watch 4 hours on LaTeX or so I thought....but. I did! Ms. Krummel is the expert who made this video. She is obviously brilliant, yet still willing and able to teach to those striving to be. LaTeX isn't nearly as hard as I thought.. .Highest marks.

Thank you. There's not a proper LaTex tutorial on KZbin - or heck the internet. This is perfect. Us writers also thank you.

@Certyfikowany Przewracacz Hulajnóg Elektrycznych ur speach does not make sens if u want an updated course well u can buy one easy . u should be thankful to those dudes who made courses for free on youtube not belaimming about the non updated versions also they are all the same latex did not change since the 80 just some small math functions have being added to the lang .

[@pajeetsingh]

Knuth is disappointed with you.

[@colbyboucher6391]

Seriously. LaTex feels like this weird secret club where the people who use it just chat amongst themselves about how to program new stuff into it, while everyone else is kinda just like... how do?

[@matejvolarevic2363]

this is brilliant! I'm 17, on school break and learning this - and I'm loving it ! Thank you, Ms Krummel

[@SPRINGGREEN813]

[@enicay7562]

Just finished it, thank you Ms.Krummel and thank you everyone who participated in sharing this useful tutorial. I can now write my own documents and i can even learn how to make presentations myself using LaTex of course hahahahaha. thank you so much !

[@pinesyeet]

This is perfect. I'm starting my first master's project in engineering now, and I've only used MS Word during my entire bachelors. Thank you for providing a great tutorial to Latex.

[@caiodavi9829]

thanks, bro.

[@mohamedmahdi6036]

You saved me so much time!

[@etornamtsyawo6407]

Just completed this tutorial, taken in 5 different chunks of time in a week. I was practicing along and expanding my learning by using Claude alongside. This tutorial is the best. In a week, I've moved from thinking about the LaTeX learning curve to actually having a solid grounding in LaTeX. If you're considering learning LaTeX, I highly recommend this video.

[@abdoulazizmaiga9848]

Thanks for saving my time, for my PhD journey! I thought LaTeX was complicated but it's really not like I thought 💭! Even if I'm still slow, I'm very confident with it now. ☺️🙏🏿

[@RychleTube]

Hey, how did your thesis turn out?

[@abdoulazizmaiga9848]

Hi ​@@RychleTube thanks for reaching out. I'm almost done, I have finished writing my dissertation and it's under review from my supervisor. I have published 4 papers, and my 5th is under review. A very challenging journey, but hard work made it easy for me. Btw, I'm planning to graduate by December. 😊🙏🏿

[@RychleTube]

@@abdoulazizmaiga9848 Awesome to hear from you. I wish you best of luck. I'm currently in the process of writing my Master's thesis, graduating next spring. Then I'm planning to continue to PhD, so hopefully that works out as well 🙏

Finally.. LaTeX chapter. I learn so much from Ms. Krummel's LaTeX Video tutorials. She were explaining so clear. Thanks

[@princemarkokibe7661]

This tutorial is a lifesaver. It is coherent, and comprehensive. The best LaTeX tutorial out there. Thanks, Michelle for this impactful course.

Wonderful tutorial! I would say almost unique in the sense that you can hardly find such tutorials as if you are listening to a tutor or teacher in a classroom, in the old fashion way... Thanks for the tutorial.

Wow, this is amazing. For my masters, I am told I am going to be using LaTeX a lot, this video has been helpful as I prepare.

Step 1. Get a template from the semester above you Step 2. Maintain that template and use it until you graduate Step 3. Pass the template on to semesters below you, repeat!

[@MysteriousStranger08]

That's what I did 😂 Overleaf (online látex editor) has tonnes of good templates, even for resume and letters.

[@Developer921]

wow , I can't believe , totay our lesson in class was preparing a report by using LateX and tonight I'm facing with the tutorial of that . that is awesome !

[@argonwheatbelly637]

After pen and pencil, then a typewriter (manual first; electric, later), I used troff. I eventually discovered Teχ, and then LaTeχ. Of course, this was before the Earth cooled. Wonderful programs!

[@qillerdaemon9331]

Team troff here! I still use it to type up policy and protocol notes for my IT team. They think it looks wonderful, and can't figure out how to do it in MS Word. 😂

Thanks for this tutorial. Well done. It made me remind when I learnt LaTeX back in the 90s when I used to code on a 386SX DOS-PC. Congratulations.

[@EJK2099]

Wow. This brings me back to when I had to learn this software on the fly for documenting my final year college project.

[@BeeboHamido]

Happening now

[@markdatko4832]

I used TeX in the 90's for my OU Electromagnetism course. Today I use my Android tablet or smartphone. Windows & MacOS are so passé.

[@johndouma3407]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I have been using Mathjax for a long time but I have only recently starting using Latex. There are two points I want to make about the calculus notation section. For \sum, it is unnecessary to use \sum\limits because the limits are already lined up on the bottom and top. We only need \limits if we are using capital sigma, \Sigma, for our sum. I don't recommend that because \sum looks much better than \Sigma\limits when it is typeset. For vectors expressed as a linear combination of unit vectors, i.e. i, j and k, we can use the \hat notation to get the symbol for a unit vector. For example, \vec v = a\hat i + b\hat j + c\hat k will give the hat notation instead of the arrow notation to stress that i, j and k are unit vectors.

[@abdoemad552]

Finally, That is what I'm waiting for 🔥🔥🔥

[@vijaysinghchauhan7079]

She is an amazing educator. 🤩

[@hcgreier6037]

Great tutorials! Thank you, much appreciated! There's maybe a subtle issue though at 01:22:39, the dx and dy both letters are italic. In fact, the "d" should be upright, because it's not a variable.

[@emilner357]

This is an exceptional tutorial. Very much recommended to beginners like me.

[@manny5716]

We use this to submit all our computer science assignments, it adds 1-4 hours just re-typing your work from pencil to LaTeX.

[@shashishekhar----]

@Desi Boi not much imo

[@manny5716]

@Desi Boi personally I’ve only used it to submit assignments. I find it a waste of time since I’m doing unnecessary more amount of work that if I just scan to a pdf my pencil solutions on paper. Though maybe in the long term it’ll actually be worth something being familiar with LaTex, as for now it gets frustrating completing my solutions on paper then having to copy and paste in LaTeX for 1-4 hours.

[@AndrewGlitchMasterBalaschak]

@@manny5716 writing project documentation for CS in LaTeX is 🤌👌

[@gamba3685]

@@manny5716 The best way to look at your situation is to recognize that you are getting 1-4 hours of latex experience every time you submit an assignment. That's super beneficial for you because you can start using latex in the future to make super professional looking documents.

Maybe you can make use of macros to speed this up.

Outstanding tutorial! One of the very best.

[@praus]

This has been an excellent tutorial! Thank you very much! One thing I noticed, was that I could simply type the < and > on my keyboard to get the left and right angle brackets and it compiled just fine. I don’t know if that was specific to my keyboard? I’m on a Mac laptop.

[@magicmulder]

Very nice tutorial. I never used tables much so that was a welcome refresher. I was a total TeX/LaTeX nerd at university, wrote my master's thesis with it as well. These days I still use LaTeX to create presentation slides for work (because I loathe Powerpoint).
