TOPIC
LaTeX for Scientists and Engineers (Sat, 22nd Oct, 1630 hrs).

MOTIVATION
LaTeX is a typesetting software system for document preparation.
LaTeX is widely used in academia for the communication and publication of scientific documents, papers in many fields and in authoring books.

When working with LaTeX, the author uses markup tagging conventions to define the general structure of a document to stylise text throughout a document (such as bold and italics), and to add citations and cross-references. The TeX file is then processed using the TeX Live or MiKTeX program to produce the DVI or PDF file.
