LaTeX is (probably) the most prevalent programming language in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) subjects because it's brilliant. Maybe you've heard of it and wondered whether you should learn it?
TL:DR version - yes, you should!
In this very short introductory video, I hope to convince you LaTeX is not only infinitely better than Word (or lol, Google docs), but it's also not as hard to learn as you think! Especially if you join me on this detour into the free, open-source world of beautiful PDFs and Overleaf.
I've been teaching LaTeX to beginners, both undergraduate and postgraduate students alike, for several years now, and I will show you that you don't need any prior coding knowledge to achieve success with LaTeX. In this Skills for Scientists tutorial series we'll start with the basics, but build your proficiency quickly so that you can focus on the important bit of your degree: the science (or math). After all, we're all busy people, right? We want to get to where we're going as fast as possible.

If you like what I do, feel free to share my videos with your friends! I'm sorry for the ads at the start of the video, Google is placing them outside of my control (my channel is not monetised so I get no ad revenue). I recommend using an ad blocker browser extension if you don't want to see them.
Liking, subscribing, and commenting also help me massively with the YouTube algorithm and don't cost you anything!
If you'd like to contribute with a coffee (or tea), that's welcome too!
