LaTeX itself.

An editor.

A viewer.
LaTeX Seminar p.5/37
How do you get it?
Google for LaTeX, and youll nd a number of websites
dedicated to this typesetting language. Here are some
websites to help you obtain LaTeX:

TeX on Mac OS X: http://www.rna.nl/tex.html

LaTex on Windows: http://www.miktex.org/

LaTeX is also available on the CSIL machines if you
arent interested in installing it on your own machine.

Other helpful tidbits to acquire
Style les are used to import additional format, macro,
and design information into a document. Helpful styles
can be found at Professor Jeff Ericksons website:
