[BlindMath] Latex?

[John G Heim]

Right. I used to teach a mini-course on latex at the University Of 
Wisconsin. But the department decided it was not worth while because 
most students already know it or they pick it up on their own. One 
larger point to be learned here though: Students are expected to do a 
lot of self-study these days. You're just expected to do things that 
might have been considered extra credit years ago. College always was 
different from high school in that way but I think the difference is 
even greater today.

If I was you I wouldn't b too worried about teaching myself latex 
though. It's way more tedious than difficult. If you work hard enough at 
it, you'll be able to get latex. To get a climatology degree, you'll 
have to learn things way more difficult to comprehend than latex.

As part of that, I have to take some math courses and learn Latex which as far as I know, isn’t tought in computer programing classes at college. Since I no nothing about computer science and have been out of the math loop for a while, what are the best math programs for a Mack computer? Where is the best place to get my hands on the most accessable tutorial for learning Latex? I have already talked to the computer science list and they recamended that I also ask you guys because even though Latex is tech but I also heard that it involves math.
