Chapters on presentations and illustrations are a highlight, as is the introduction of LaTeX  on an iPad.<br>Students, faculty, and professionals in the worlds of mathematics and technology will benefit greatly from this new, practical introduction to LaTeX. George Grätzer, author of <i>More Math into LaTeX</i>  (now in its 4th edition) and <i>First Steps in LaTeX</i>, has been a LaTeX  guru for over a quarter of century.<br>From the reviews of <i>More Math into LaTeX</i>:<br>``There are several LaTeX  guides, but this one wins hands down for the elegance of its approach and breadth of coverage.''</p><p>―<b>Amazon.com, Best of 2000, Editors Choice</b><br>``A very helpful and useful tool for all scientists and engineers.''</p><p>―<b>Review of Astronomical Tools</b><b><br></b>``A novice reader will be able to learn the most essential features of LaTeX sufficient to begin typesetting papers within a few hours of time…An experienced TeX user, on the other hand, will find a systematic and detailed discussion of all LaTeX features, supporting software, and many other advanced technical issues.''</p>―<b>Reports on Mathematical Physics</b>
