Product Description
"Math into LaTeX" is for the mathematician, physicist, engineer, scientist, or technical typist who needs to quickly learn how to write and typeset articles and books containing mathematical formulas, and requires a thorough reference book on all aspects of LaTeX and the AMS packages, the enhancements to LaTeX by the American Mathematical Society. Features a section devoted to book publishing and typesetting as well as an introduction to web development from LaTeX. Presents a detailed discussion of all aspects of LaTeX and the AMS packages and includes a formula gallery, sample files, and templates, as well as useful appendices containing symbol tables and covering special topics, such as the use of PostScript fonts and where to find TeXware. Key features of Math into LaTeX: * A simple, example-based, visual approach * A quick introduction (Part I) allowing readers to type their first articles in only a few hours * Sample articles to demonstrate the basic structure of LaTeX and AMS articles Useful appendices containing mathematical and text symbol tables and information on how to convert to standard LaTeX from older versions of LaTeX and AMS-LaTeX New features of the Third Edition include: * Coverage of AMS packages, version 2.0 * A new chapter on writing books in LaTeX * A new part, Math and the Web, covers where to find useful LaTeX-related information on the Internet and how to publish LaTeX documents on the Web

I just wanted to point out that this book is obsolete. The new fourth edition title has changed to "More Math into LATEX". Buy that instead...
 Typesetting Math November 22, 2007
Kable (Eureka, CA USA)
This book is a good introduction to Latex. It provides many examples to follow, and it covers most of the scenarios I've required a reference for. Of the three Latex books I own, this is the one I always go to.
Well-written guide May 17, 2007
A. Jenkins (Boulder CO)
This book is a well-written guide to using LaTeX for typesetting mathematics. A very nice feature is that it indicates which commands are from the AMSMath package (in case that package will be unavailable in your environment). I would imagine the book is especially useful if you are just getting started in LaTeX and don't know where to start. It covers a wider range of LaTeX than the AMSMath user's guide (although that user's guide has more depth with AMSMath features). The appendices are also very useful, with a list of common commands and characters and so on. Buy this if the AMSMath user's guide isn't enough.
good book August 21, 2006

I have purchased more than five books about Latex. Even though I have not read all the chapters in this book, I think this book will be on my desk along with Lamport's book when I write papers in Latex.

A very nice intro book for those of you out there trying to put your write ups in Latex. This book has a good way of explaining things like how you can tackle the writing. I am really happy using this book.
