LaTex :

LaTeX is a document preparation system developed from Donald Knuth's TEX program. The most recent version, LATEX2", is a sophisticated program designed to produce high-quality typesetting especially for mathematical text. This course is only meant as a short, hands-on introduction to LATEX for newcomers who want to prepare rather simple documents.
A Simple Example
LATEX is neither a desktop publishing package nor a word processor. It is a document preparation system. First, you write a plain text containing formatting commands into a file by means of your favorite editor. Next, the LATEX-program converts this text into formatted matter that you can preview and print. Here we shall describe the basics of this process. 2.1 Running LATEX and Related Programs Do the following steps: 1. Create a text file, say example.tex, that contains the following text and LATEX commands: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} This is a simple example to start with \LaTeX. \end{document} Figure 1: A Simple LATEX document For example, you can use the editor XEmacs The above UNIX command starts the editor and creates the source file example.tex. Good advice: always give a source file a name with extension .tex. This will make it easier for you to distinguish the source document from files with other extensions, which LATEX will create during the formatting. 2. Convert this file into formatted, printable code. Here the LATEX-program does the job:
36

Latex example It is not necessary to give the filename extension here. LATEX now creates some additional Files: Example.dvi that can be printed and previewed; Example.aux that is needed for cross-referencing; Example.log that is a transcript of the formatting. 3. Preview the device independent document (with extension .dvi) on your computer screen by typing: xdvi example 4. Convert the dvi-file into a printable PostScript document by typing: dvips example It creates the file example.ps that you can print in the usual way. For example, when you want print it on the printer sl1, just enter: lpr -Psl1 example.ps 5. Alternatively, convert the dvi-file into a printable pdf-document (Portable Display Format) by typing: dvipdf example It creates the file example.pdf, which you can view on the computer screen with the Adobe Acrobat Reader by entering the command: acroread example.pdf You can print this file in the usual way. Two shortcuts: You can immediately print a dvi-file, without creating a PostScript file. For example, to print the file example.dvi on the printer sl1, you can enter the command: dvips -f example.dvi | lpr -Psl1 You can immediately format the source file into a pdf-file.

The Structure of a LATEX Document We shall use the above example to explain the basic structure of a LATEX document. As stated before, the source file example.tex contains both text and LATEX commands. You can easily recognize the formatting commands: they always start with a backslash (n). For example,the first line \documentclass{article} is the command that informs LATEX what kind of document will be compiled. The five standard document classes are: class purpose article papers in scientific journals, short tutorials, etc. report rather long texts, master theses, etc. book actual books letter letters slides transparencies Table 1: Standard Document Classes. EXERCISE 2 Change the document class of example.tex from article into slides, format the document again, and see the effect on the dvi-file. In addition to choosing the document class, you can select from among certain documentclass options and additional packages. The options for the article and report classes include the following: class option purpose 11pt ----> specifies an eleven-point type size, which is 10% larger than the default ten-point type size. 12pt --specifes an twelve-point type size. twocolumn --produces two-column output. a4paper --generates an A4 page layout. landscape -uses the landscape orientation, where the longer side of the paper is horizontally oriented.
38

Table 2: Class Options. You specify options between square brackets. For example, the line \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} specifies that the document should be formatted in the article style, using a twelve-point character size and an A4 page layout. Additional packages must be declared via the \usepackage command in the preamble, i.e., they must be declared between the \documentclass command and \begin{document}. Much used packages are listed below: packages a4wide with longer lines. amssymb mathematical symbols babel languages. graphicx imported graphics via the extended color colors. purpose produces an A4 page layout allows the use of facilitates the use of several allows the use of the graphics package. allows the use of
Table 3: Some Useful LATEX2" Packages. For example, the two lines \usepackage[dutch]{babel} \usepackage{a4wide} Specify that
Document elements like chapter headings, section headings, and so on, are in Dutch; NARAYANA ENGINEERING COLLEGE :: NELLORE
39

Dutch hyphenation rules are applied; the document is formatted in an A4 page layout with long lines.
In case you want to deviate from the standard settings, you can place further instructions in the preamble. For example, the two lines \addtolength{\textheight}{2cm} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} will make the text height two centimeters longer than the default size and causes paragraphs to be displayed without indentation. Finally, the text is placed between the \begin{document} command and \end{document}. All lines after the \end{document} command are considered by LATEX as commentary, as you may have noticed in the example. By the way, everything that occurs after a percent sign (%) until the end of the line in the source le is considered by LATEX as commentary, too.
In the introduction we stated that LATEX is the program to create mathematical texts. To get you motivated, change the contents of the example.tex le into the following: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amssymb} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \begin{document} Basic Conventions: Some basic conventions of LATEX that are essential for your understanding of the program. Spacing, Line Breaking and Page Breaking
40

Because LATEX itself formats the document using certain fonts and a given page layout, the Source file and the actual printout are different. In other words, it does not matter where the lines in the source file end (where the carriage returns are) in the source file; LATEX joins them. Similarly, extra spaces are ignored, as the example below illustrates: extra spaces and single line breaks in the source file are ignored. Extra spaces and single line breaks in the source file are ignored. If you really want to start a new line, pressing the Enter key once is not enough. LATEX uses the convention that pressing the Enter key twice starts a new paragraph. The following example generates the lines `one' and `two': one two one two It goes without saying that LATEX contains many constructions to influence spacing, line breaking and page breaking. Command Effect \newpage point. \pagebreak current line. \newline it. \linebreak i.e., stretches so the line extends to the right margin \word at \ blank space allows LATEX to hyphenate a that point. a blackslash followed by a starts a new page at that starts a new page after the ends a line without justifying ends a line and justifies it, the spacing between words
41

Causes a single space to be printed \hspace of given size. \vspace given size. \smallskip space between produces a horizontal space produces vertical space of creates a little extra vertical paragraphs. \medskip vertical space between \bigskip space between creates medium extra paragraphs creates large extra vertical paragraphs Table 4: Page Breaking, Line Breaking, and Spacing A shortcut for the \newline command is the double backslash \\ MODES AND ENVIRONMENT: Important are the concepts `mode' and `environment' as they determine the way LATEX is Formatting the document. LATEX distinguishes: Paragraph mode: LATEX regards your input as a sequence of words and sentences to be broken into lines, paragraphs, and pages. Math mode: this mode is for generating mathematical formulas. With the dollar symbol $ you mark the start and the end of an in-line mathematical formula, i.e., a formula in a running text. A formula put between \[ and \] appears on a separate line and centered. left-to-right mode: LATEX produces output that keeps going from left to right. LATEX has a clear syntax for using the brackets [ ], ( ), and f g. For example, in paragraph modes:
parentheses (rounded brackets) are ordinary parentheses. NARAYANA ENGINEERING COLLEGE :: NELLORE
42

braces (curly brackets) are used for the parameters of a command, like \begin{document},and for grouping parts of the document into a single unit, like 2^{n+1}. square brackets are ordinary brackets, and are also used for optional arguments to a command, like \documentstyle[12pt]{article}.
Forbidden Characters: As you have seen before, some characters have a special meaning for L ATEX. For example, the dollar symbol, the percent sign, curly brackets, and so on. In Table 5 we list the special commands to get the characters in your document. forbidden: use: result: \{}$&#^_~% $\backslash$ \{ \} \$ \& \# \^{} \_{} \~{} \% nfg$&#^~% Table 5: Ten Forbidden Characters.
Basic Tools for Formatting Text:

Although our main objective is to learn how to create with LATEX wellformatted mathematical texts, we shall first discuss the organizational elements of ordinary texts that contains little or no mathematics. Large portions of the text are reference tables that help you to do the exercises. At first reading you may omit the last two subsections about tables and pictures. Structuring: Sectioning Commands In the document classes article, report, and book you can easily structure the document into chapters, sections, subsections, and so on. LATEX takes care of numbering chapters and sections, i.e., it automatically generates the numbers. If you want a section heading without a number, just add an asterisk to the command. command purpose
43

\part parts. \chapter book, not in \section \subsection \subsubsection divides long documents into separate starts a new chapter.Only in report and article. starts a new section. starts a new subsection. starts a nested subsection. Table 6: Sectioning Commands. Title and Table of Contents: Use the \maketitle command to create a titlepage. This command must come after the \begin{document} command. The actual date may be specified in the preamble with the commands \title, \author, etc. Depending on the class of the document, LATEX may automatically generate the date when the document was formatted. In case you do not like this, you can specify an empty date with \date{}. The use of the sectioning commands makes generating the table of contents an easy task: just enter the \tableofcontents command at the point where you want to place the listing and run the formatting program twice: the first time for getting the numbering done, and the second time for creating the table of contents. Creating Lists An enumerated (numbered) list: 1. This is the 1st item. \begin{enumerate} \item This is the 1st item. 44

2. This is the 2nd item. A simple unnumbered list: This is the 1st item. This is the 2d item. item. . A customizable list: One This is the 1st item. item Two This is the 2nd item. 2nd item. [First] This is the 1st item. \item[Two] This is the \end{description} begin{description} \item{[First]} This is the 1st item \item{[Second]} This \end{description} Changing the Typeface: You can change the font family, font series (width and weight), and the font shape by the commands and declarations. command \textrm{...} family \textsf{...} serif family declaration {\rmfamily ...} {\sffamily ...} meaning formatted in roman formatted in sans begin{description} \item[One] This is the 1st \item This is the 2nd item. \end{enumerate} \begin{itemize} \item This is the 1st item \item This is the 2nd \end{itemize}

Paragraph Justification: There are two ways to change the alignment of lines in a paragraph: via an environment and via a declaration. The difference is that an environment starts a new paragraph, and a command does not do this. An example of centering lines of text in a paragraph, using \\ to break lines:
46

This is centered. This is also centered. This is right flushed. This is also right flushed. \begin{center} This \\ is \\ centered. \end{center} \begin{quote} \centering This \\ is \\ also \\ centered. \end{quote} \begin{flushright} This \\ is \\ right flushed. \end{flushright} \begin{quote} \raggedleft This \\ is \\ also \\ right flushed. \end{quote}
Mathematical Formulas
Basic LATEX offers a high level of mathematical typesetting capabilities. Nevertheless many packages are available for complex equations or mathematical constructs that are repeatedly required. In this tutorial we only describe the basic facilities. Math Environments Mathematical formulas are put in an environment. The main ones are:
\begin{math} ... \end{math}:
This places a formula in the running text. Usually, one does not start and end the math environment in this way, but instead one uses a shortcut: one only puts a dollar symbol before and after the formula.
\begin{displaymath} ... \end{displaymath}:
The mathematical formula is displayed centered on a separate line. Instead of these

47

commands you can also use $$ before and after the formula, or put the formula between \[ and \].
\begin{equation} ... \end{equation}:
The same as displaymath except that equation numbers the formula..

THEORY: Search engine: A search engine can be defined as a web site with tools which help you to find information on the internet Function of a search engine: You can find anything from a schedule of White house tours to instructions for removing stains from clothes. Limitations: Search engines visit web sites only several weeks. Search engines cannot see information in other data bases later on. On the internet a search engine is a coordinated set of programs that includes: A spider (crawler or bot) that goes to every page or representative pages on every web site that wants to be searchable and reads it , using hypertext links on each page to discover and read sites other pages. Pros :

The vast majority of links may be only marginally relevant or altogether irrelevant EX: Alta Vista Ask Jeeves Google Lycos Etc.. Meta Search Engines: Meta search engines or metacrawlers dont crawl the web themselves. Instead they search the resources of multiple search engines by sending a search to several search engines at once aggregating the result. Pros: You only need to use one search tool which is time- efficient You only need to learn how to use one search engine reducing learning curve You benefit from the difference among several search tools at once Cons:
71

Meta search services may not be able to leverage each individual search engines full range of query tools resulting in less refined searches You can not personally select the search engines queried by meta search services. Viva Questions: 1) Define search engine 2) What is a spider? 3) What are popular search engines? 4) What is a meta search engine 5) Give the main purpose of WWW b) Cyber Hygiene: Students would be exposed to the various threats on the internet and would be asked to configure their computer to be safe on the internet. They need to first install an anti virus software, configure their personal firewall and windows update on their computer.
