This is what \KZbin\ should promote instead of Shorts and other low quality , third class entertaining stuffs!!🌎🌚

[@R3TT1CH]

Your old LaTeX videos were helping me getting through my B.Sc. thesis. Seeing this notification pop up now has brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you so much for all of this, I personally will always be very grateful!

[@MichelleKrummel]

That's so nice to hear. Thank you! xoxo

[@walterstevens3874]

This was so well done. I usually don’t have patience for videos over about 10-15 minutes, but this 30+ minutes flew by. The pacing was just right-not too slow and not too fast. It was great to see the mistakes and how to correct them.

[@mariamoubarak]

Finally someone who explains the different softwares ... for someone starting this can be very confusing. Also your vice and pace is just on point! Thanks!

[@garvitperiwal8157]

You really have an amazing voice and it makes your tutorials so easy to watch. Your videos are really helpful.

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

These are my favorite Latex video - clear and concise. Bravo Michelle - I am waiting eagerly for an update Beamer video.

[@ricardosendes776]

This made the introduction to latex muuuuch easier for me, thanks!

[@edgardmacena2704]

Thank you for all the work you've done. One of the best tutorials on the internet by a large margin

[@naveensd101]

You are good at teaching. all other tutorials I found went over my head.

[@pdsdeep]

Dear Michelle, Your video series on LaTeX is wonderful. I have been floundering around and learning bits and pieces from google searches and reading through multiple documentation and here you have everything organized for a LaTeX beginner. I like your style of presentation as well. These videos have been very helpful and a constant reference to me when I am preparing my documents before I dive into the maze called Google :) Would you consider making a video on how you make and edit these videos? Thanks a lot.

[@allyhanaffy2329]

Dear Michelle, your video series for LaTeX are really helpful.

[@CR-ou4hl]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. New college professor and really want/need to learn this stuff. Your tutorial has been a big help.

[@Edgawliet]

Great! It has been ages since I learn LaTeX due your 'old' tutorials. Now this is becoming better. I'll be waiting for the next. I already watch this and feel glad to realize that I'm not a beginner anymore.

[@MichelleKrummel]

Sweet!!

[@stephenpaapaowereduassefua5371]

I have gone through quite a few videos on this subject as a desperate beginner. I personally found you not only as the super gifted teacher that you are, but more importantly a wonderful gift to humanity. Thank you and God bless you.

[@anaesthesia_kun8099]

I will be starting my graduate studies soon and in the time in between I am going through these videos. You have an amazing voice and these lectures are by far the best I found on the internet. Thank you so much for uploading them!

[@jongraham8866]

Wonderful stuff, Michelle! Thanks for sharing it!

[@CB-tc1mk]

Thanks for the great tutorials so far. I'm studying philosophy. So for me quotations and the list of references are the most important things to do. It would be so amazing to see a detailed tutorial(s) for those, too.

[@denhafiz1860]

Great to see the updated videos! I enjoy your old LaTeX video and they actually got me started doing assignments and writing papers using LaTeX. As a Physics undergrad, LaTeX is very great.

[@MichelleKrummel]

That's great to hear! Thank you :)

[@Suryakumarprakasam]

All your video tutorials are awesome. Very professional and well explained.

[@ironwrit]

[@kushalgujjar3354]

Correction " Helped a lot in getting back on rail"

[@mathematicalsnippets3332]

@@kushalgujjar3354 you could have edited your earlier comment instead of writing a corrigendum.

Hi, thanks for these excellent tutorials. Just curious, would you be able to do a tutorial for Plos One, Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Science Direct submission using their template. Thanks, and appreciate your great work!

[@suhailanjumabdurraheemsayy7639]

Nice and detailed explanations with proper time managements. And also the pace of video is neither very slow to become bore and fast to not understand anything. Best LaTeX tutorials available on KZbin. Thank you madam.

[@MichelleKrummel]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback!

[@west9492]

Great.. .... I liked this video very much...... Nice telling and politely explanation........ .

[@user-rd1ot1ql9m]

[@yandelyano]

Starting the video while doing something else, I, then, got hit by how relaxing your voice is.

[@MichelleKrummel]

What a nice compliment. Thank you :)

[@zano9291]

Thank you Michelle!

[@IbrahimAli-sx5lq]

Great video tutorial! I've been watching your videos for the last 3 days, and just finished all the series - all are great - but I find this 'updated' video tut better: 1) the text is bigger and easier on the eyes, 2) you touch on the online 'overleaf' option, and 3) you have now cleaner better 'wide-screen' video with better audio. Keep up the great work!

[@abdulmuizzkelani3760]

This is Really Amazing, thank you for this.

[@Ahmed-me5nu]

I am in my junior year of engineering school right now, This tutorial is one of the best beginner tutorials I have seen so far, for any subject. Thanks a lot.

[@MichelleKrummel]

You're welcome! So glad it's been useful! :)

[@niqslife]

Hello! Do you have a video on creating columns for math problems? I'm looking to create something similar to the way you have your summer math packets set up. I would like to have around 3 to 6 problems on each row. If you're taking viewer requests, I would love to see you create your assignments using LaTeX.

[@bouafiaabdelhak2386]

thank yo very much for your explain its very nice ,plz don't stop continue

[@ramachandranv9494]

Your videos are so informative, I really learnt using Latex with you. I would really appreciate if you could pleas guide me. I am doing a report, it has 6 large sections. I have a main table of content 9no problem) but I need separate table of content before the section begins.

[@the_dragon5448]

Hi Michelle. Great tutorials! For an assigment I have some specific questions about LaTeX and using it with other software. Di I ask the questions overhere or is there another channel where I can contact you? thx.

I liked and subscribed, thank you very much to make it easy and step by step

[@kelvinwilliams2908]

Excellent tutorial. I didn't know anything about LaTeX but now I am ready to try it out. One small point - you didnt actually cover "SavingYour Files" you just closed the window and went to the Folder.

[@kingsleyorji5446]

because it saves automatically 🙂

[@qusayhamad7243]

thank you a lot you are amazing and your tutorial so helpful. thanks

[@zachduan4413]

I studied your old videos some time ago and was pleasantly surprised to find an updated version today. Your detailed explanations are simply fantastic and have made me truly fall in love with LaTeX! By the way, I'm from China, KZbin is not a service we provide here, I wonder if I can republish your video to the video site "bilibili.com" here, I'll tag your name and your KZbin page. Thank you very much!

[@mohsinkhan-jo5jh]

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

[@prily7569]

I'm sorry ma'am but I'd like to ask you a question. before I installed MikTeX first then installed the Texmaker. I tried to create like graph or colouring but I couldn't do that bcs it said I have to download the packages. where could I download packages freely so I can use more tools for TexMaker? love ur channel so much since it helps me, thanks a lot!

[@mathematicalsnippets3332]

You choose the option Internet repository when texmaker asks you to download the package. Everything is free.
