Introduction to LaTeX
Eamonn Gaffney
Abstract
No prior experience of LaTeX is assumed.
This one-hour session introduces LaTeX, a highly-recommended document preparation system widely used for technical writing, particularly for documents containing mathematical equations, figures and references.
We will very briefly mention local LaTeX installations (e.g. MiKTeX and TeXmaker), but the focus will be the cloud-based option, Overleaf. Please note that Oxford students have free access to an Overleaf subscription, and Overleaf is recommended.
We will extensively follow Parts 1 and 2 of Overleaf's online introduction to LaTeX, creating and structuring documents, formatting text, writing mathematical expressions, inserting figures and tables, and managing references. We also briefly discuss the history functionality of Overleaf, backing up your work and the Mathematical Institute thesis template (for those in Parts B or C writing a project, essay or dissertation).
You are encouraged to bring a laptop with an Overleaf account set up in advance, by signing up at
Please use your SSO email in the sign-up to access the institutional subscription, but the basic, free Overleaf account will work for the session.

Venki Ramakrishnan (University of Cambridge) - Why We Die: The New Science of Ageing and the Quest for Immortality
In this lecture Venki Ramakrishnan will discuss with Marcus du Sautoy the fundamental facts and promising approaches to combat ageing, as well as the social and ethical consequences of extending life.
Venki Ramakrishnan works in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. He shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
