TeX

What is TeX?

Donald E. Knuth, a mathematician and computer scientist, developed the TeX typesetting system "for the creation of beautiful books--and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics." His brilliant work was a resounding success, and some variant of TeX is now used by most professional mathematicians. If you pick a random mathematics book published in the last five years, the chances are good that it was formatted with TeX.
