LaTeX course: an introduction ++ (english version), 9:30 am to 12:30 pm

The workshop will be given in person in English (For the French version, see Tuesday June 4).

The goal of this workshop is to introduce students to the use of LaTeX for writing documents (homework, internship report, letter, article, thesis, resume, ...). LaTeX can be scary for beginners, but its advantages and capabilities far outweigh the time spent learning it. Already, at the end of this workshop, students will be able to start their first document, know the possibilities offered by LaTeX, discern the best practices and know where and how to look for answers to their questions.

We will cover the basic commands of a document and then get to write math, make lists, call cross-references, insert images and tables. The workshop does not require any prerequisites and the examples of applications will be done over Overleaf, a user-friendly and collaborative online LaTeX editor.

LaTeX course: a deepening (english version), 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm

The workshop will be given in person in English (For the French version, see Tuesday June 4).

The goal of this workshop is to deepen the scope of LaTeX's capabilities for writing documents (assignment, internship report, letter, article, thesis, resume, ...). At the end of this workshop, students will be able to recognize the best practices and commands to improve their document and will be able to deepen their knowledge of the possibilities offered by LaTeX. Students will also learn tips on how to be more efficient and use the full potential of LaTeX.

This workshop will explore the various environments for writing equations (alignment, grouping, long equations, numbering). We will also see the different ways to insert delimiters, distinguish the extensions for composing algorithms and their proper commands (pseudocode, algorithmic, algorithmicx and algorithm2e). Tables will be more complex and will answer well defined problems (text too long, automatic column width, table on several pages, text on several columns/rows, table too wide, note under the table, use of color, web converters for Excel tables, ...). We will also see how to create a bibliography file and insert references.

The workshop requires previous experience with LaTeX or the introduction to LaTeX workshop. The application examples will be on Overleaf, a user-friendly and collaborative online LaTeX editor.
