LaTeX for beginners (English)

LaTeX is a command based system which is known to create nice-looking and well-structured documents. In addition, the system has great support for mathematical expressions.

The University Library now offers beginners' LaTeX courses for students and employees who want to get started with LaTeX. Since this course is a beginner's course, no previous knowledge of LaTeX is necessary in order to participate. We also have an advanced LaTeX course it is possible to sign up for once you have attended the beginners' course.

The course will start with a general introduction to LaTeX. You will also learn how to create a LaTeX document, how to format your documents, how to add text, lists, figures, tables and mathematical expressions.

The course is built around practical examples which will be shown in Overleaf, which every NTNU student can use freely. Overleaf is a cloud tool, and you do not need to install additional software to join the course. 

The University Library's LaTeX course is digital, and will be taught in The Virtual Library. The course will be held in English.
