{"product_id":"mathematical-tex-by-example-9780121176457","title":"Mathematical TEX by Example","description":"\u003cp\u003eNearly a year after Bordes highly acclaimed introductory book  TeX By Example  arrives Mathematical TeX by Example  featuring indepth discussion of typesetting mathematics. This book covers the features of AmSTeX  LamSTeX  and Plain TeX  and contains a series of examples illustrating the uses of these packages. Bordes WYSIWYG approach is carried throughout the book-- left-hand pages contain TeX input  with occasional notes given below  and right-hand pages contain the corresponding output to allow readers to see what the command should be for specific typesetting issues. This book provides an introduction for scientists who are interested in making a change to AmSTeX.    Examples show how a wide variety of standard pieces of mathematics can be typset--integrals  differential equations  matrices  communative diagrams  and equation alignments of many kinds  Extensive glossary\/index covers all mathematical commands of Plain TeX and AmSTeX  plus many common TeX commands--items can be found by command name or topic  Provides a useful introduction to new AmSTeX users such as chemists or physicists  Uses examples from other well-known mathematical works to illustrate specific typesetting techniques and commands  Examples introduce special packages such as PiCTeX  dvips  and LamSTeX  Addresses how to handle non-English languages such as German and Russian fonts  Covers examples of all the main approaches to incorporating graphics with TeX  including Postscript prictures  Outlines how TeX makes typeface decisions and how users can impose thier own choices  Covers a large number of available typefaces and provides examples of how to make typeface changes  Example type faces include AMS Euler\/Computer Concrete  Math Time\/Times-Roman  and LucidaNew Math\/LucidaBright  Reproduces the commands used to produce the book  focusing on new commands introduced to make mathematical typesetting and book formatting easier  Provides a reading list for materials cited\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929896321077,"sku":"ByrdShop_0121176452","price":250.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780121176457.jpg?v=1794200294","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mathematical-tex-by-example-9780121176457","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
