Upcoming 2023 events:

LaTeX Review Session January 25th at 4pm in HENN307

Have you ever wondered what your math professors use to make those super nice-looking equations on your assignments and exams? Does any of your homework involve having to use LaTeX? Or perhaps you’re looking to format a fancy research paper?

Physsoc will be hosting a LaTeX Basics Workshop on Wednesday January 25th at 4pm in HENN307. We’ll be going over the ins and outs of the LaTeX typesetting language, from how to set up your document, to text and math formatting, to more advanced usage like figures and citations. This is an interactive workshop with live demos and exercises, so bring your laptop to follow along. Admission is free for Physsoc members, and $5 for non-members (so you might as well become a member!). Hope to see you there!
