LaTeX -- Set to change the world of document creation

Introduction :-

Latex is a powerfull typesetting system which is used widely for the purpose of scientific and mathematical document creation.
Latex is big , open source and stable and used by many technological publishing companies.

Donald E Knuth (www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth) designed a typesetting program called TeX in the 1970s especially for complex mathematical text. LaTeX is a macro package that allows authors to use TeX easily, and uses TeX as its formatting engine. It is available for most operating systems; for example, you can

use it on low-specification PCs and Macs, as well as on powerful UNIX and VMS systems. There are many different implementations of LaTeX. The word LaTeX is pronounced ‘lay-tech’ or ‘lah-tech’ (‘ch’ as in Scottish ‘loch’ or just hard ‘k’), not ‘latex’ (as in rubber). In plain text, the typography is LaTeX.

What is TeX then ?

TeX ( as in Greek, often in English) is a typesetting system designed and mostly written by Donald Knuth.

1.TeX was designed with two main goals in mind: to allow anybody to produce high-quality books using a reasonable amount of effort, and to provide a system that would give exactly the same results on all computers, now and in the future.

2.TeX is one popular means by which to typeset complex mathematical formulae; it has been noted as one of the most sophisticated digital typographical systems in the world.

What is Typesetting System  (The LaTeX)?

1.The LaTeX is developed specifically to let the document writter not to worry about document's visual presentation while writting.

2.LaTeX very well carry out this task by applying an extra overhead of Layout formatting by commands.The thing is very similar to CSS in our HTML pages. 

Following is the view that GUI of LaTeX gives
