Using TeX to Write Mathematics: A Tutorial 
Here are some things I wish were available currently in the academic world:
-
A set of
standard definitions and notations that the *Mathematical Society (*MS)
would insist that everybody must use.
-
Unanimous agreement
among mathematicians that they will publish their papers in TeX, unless
there are substantial reasons against it.
-
An area in the
Web where the *Mathematical Society will place any paper that is submitted
to it, for a month or two. This is to make sure that the anonymous reviewers
of the *MS will take their job seriously.
-
Every author pledges
that he has spent enough time to make the writing lucid and he is unable
to make it any better or simpler.
-
Every teacher
pledges that he will teach only those concepts which are worth knowing
and keeping.
-
A collective effort
by the academic community to select and publish three most outstanding
publications of each of the last twentysix centuries.
To promote one the objectives above, I have written a tutorial entitled
"Publishing Mathematics using LaTeX". Click, Publishing
Mathematics using LaTeX, to go to the tutorial.
TeXlion and
friends want to thank you for visiting this page
