Verfassen mathematischer Arbeiten mit LaTeX

Seit dem Wintersemester 2008/09 bieten wir – finanziert aus Mitteln der Studienbeiträge – einen Anlaufpunkt für Fragen zu und Problemen mit dem Textsatz-System LaTeX an.

Arbeiten, die mathematische Formeln enthalten, werden weltweit fast ausschließlich mit LaTeX erzeugt. Auch für studentische Zwecke – etwa Folien für Seminarvorträge oder Ihre Bachelorarbeit – ist es zu empfehlen. Und es ist auch nicht schwer!

Sie können ohne große Vorkenntnisse loslegen – die Informationen auf dieser Seite helfen Ihnen dabei.

Installation

Prinzipiell benötigen Sie nur einen Text-Editor Ihrer Wahl, in dem Sie Ihren LaTeX-Quelltext schreiben, und einen LaTeX-Compiler. Es existieren bereits eine Reihe von Editoren, die speziell für das Arbeiten mit LaTeX entwickelt wurden. Dort haben Sie die Möglichkeit, Ihren Quelltext mit einem Klick zu kompilieren und gleich die Ausgabedatei anzusehen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auch unter LaTeX project: Obtaining LaTeX .

• LaTeX-Distribution: MikTeX  
• Installation einiger weiterer Tools erforderlich (z.B. Viewer, um die Ausgabe-Dateien im .dvi oder .ps oder .pdf-Format ansehen zu können):  proTeXt   hilft Ihnen dabei.
• Als Editor ist u.a. WinShell   zu empfehlen.

MAC: MacTeX

Unix/Linux:

• in der Regel schon enthalten
• diverse Editoren (z.B. gedit) unterstützen Syntax Highlighting für LaTeX

The pages should be numbered (using Arabic numerals) starting with the introduction as page "1". The preceding pages may be numbered using Roman numerals. Page numbers are not shown on the title page and the first page of each chapter. Figures and tables should be numbered (numbers should include the chapter) and apropriately captioned. Use Arial or Roman fonts, a character size of 12pt, and single spacing.

Please note that symbols for physical quantities and their respective units have a defined typography:

• Italic Style: Physical Quantities (e.g. U for voltage), variables (e.g. x ), as well as variable functions and operators (e.g. f(x) ).
• Upright Style: Units and their prefixes (e.g. kg, pF), numbers, and well defined functions and operators (e.g. sin, lg).
