TABLE OF CONTENTS TEX can print virtually any mathematical thought that comes into your head, and print it beautifully.

I can't compose at a typewriter. I can't even compose a letter to my relatives on a typewriter, even though I'm a good typist.

1992: Extensive testing shows that 98.3% of the time no matter which of the [h], [t], or [b], or [p] options is used, LATEX will put your table at the end of the document.

Wordprocessing systems have brought a new dimension to writing. Courses are offered on writing with a computer, and books have been written on the subject [205], [302]. Producing mathematical equations is difficult or impossible with wordprocessors not designed for the purpose, but various specially designed systems are available. Because it is ubiquitous in the mathematical and compouter science communities I focus in this chapter on the TEX typesetting system (the "EX" is usually pronounced like the eck in deck) and the LATEX macro package. The troff system (with the eqn preprocessor for typesetting mathematics [151]) predates TEX and was widely used on Unix systems, but has now largely been supplanted by TEX.
