TeX & LaTeX

TeX is a typesetting system written by Donald E. Knuth, who says that it is “intended for the creation of beautiful books — and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics”.

LaTeX is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program. LaTeX and TeX are widely used in the academic world.
