Abstract:
Academic presentation aims to deliver precise and concise messages to the audience. Apart from Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, LaTeX is an alternative typesetting system well-suited for this purpose. This talk first reviews the history and several advantages of LaTeX, and then introduces two of the enhancements: TikZ for drawing and Beamer for slides. First, LaTeX is widely used in typesetting academic papers, technical reports, books, and other scientific documents, with high efficiency. Then, TikZ is a powerful drawing package, which is able to produce high quality vector graphics in LaTeX. Finally, presentation slides can be created readily by the Beamer class in LaTeX. Several examples using LaTeX will be demonstrated.
