Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting)
Many of our PGR students here at Essex are requesting training in LaTex, and we are able to offer discounts to Ph.D. students in the social sciences who wish to take the two-day course that we've designed as part of our offering to the DTC Advanced Training Network.
The course will be offered on the 16th and 17th of April, and will cost £60 for social science Ph.D. students.
Staff in higher education can take the course for £240. Information on the course and sign-up processes can be found here: http://www.essex.ac.uk/sociology/news_and_seminars/seminarDetail.aspx?e_id=3888.
=====================================
Course Outline:
LaTeX is a system for high-quality typesetting that is particularly useful for technical and scientific documents. This course prepares students to use all the power of LaTex to typeset any type of manuscript. The course begins with the typesetting of articles and books. This includes the general set up of a document, fonts, paragraphs, lists, footnotes and, of course, BibTex. Having done this, the students are introduced to the use of mathematical formulas, symbols, equations, matrices, and tables. The course also covers the interface between LaTex and statistical software to produce tables of estimation results. The students will also learn to use figures in LaTex. Finally, the course covers Beamer, the flexible and powerful LaTex class to create amazing slides for presentations.
