Are you an researcher or a typographer?

If you are a typographer, then this course is not for you. But if you are a researcher, then in this course you can learn how to use LaTeX, a scientific document preparation system that allows you to concentrate on the structure and content of the text without having to worry about the typographic details. And by the way, LaTeX is great at producing great-looking, typographically-correct documents - far better than the usual word processors.
