TEX: starting from 1

This book is designed for the complete newcomer to TEX. It starts by showing how to typeset simple text that mostly uses the defaults predefined by TEX. By use of graded exercises, the situations covered slowly become more complex and include many different types of mathematical constructions and tables. This book can be used either as a tool to learn just enough TEX to write standard papers of modest complexity or as a building block to prepare for more ambitious typesetting projects.
