    LaTex is very good course and it is very useful.I have been for a long while grown fond of using LaTeX in preparing most of my documentation work.

    I understood how to write the code in overleaf and debug the errors in the commands. Various mathematical operations were also considered which cleared the view of how to write those, like displaystyle all commands were used and understood. Various tips and Tricks are also shared into this for overleaf as well as texmaker. I enjoyed and explored the course and found out interesting and completed in two consecutive day. Thanking you for such a nice course which made me enthusiast about LaTeX. I also remeber that how to pronounce LaTeX and display one captical and one small alphabets.

    While LaTeX is undoubtedly a complex system to grasp, a good tutorial should provide clear and concise guidance. Unfortunately, this tutorial falls short in several areas. The content is quite basic, lacking depth on many essential LaTeX features. Additionally, it doesn't include practical examples or clear step-by-step instructions for more advanced tasks. For beginners, it can be frustrating and overwhelming. A more comprehensive, hands-on approach with better explanations and examples would greatly benefit those looking to learn LaTeX from scratch.

    Beautiful introductory lessons to learn LaTeX. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this as I will now be using this during the rest of my mathematics undergrad. LaTeX has so many features and Michelle Krummel made sure all the basic and necessities were covered. Kudos!
