Student LaTeX Workshop

This live-typeset interactive LaTeX workshop is designed to help participants improve the quality and readability of their LaTeX-generated documents. Topics include mathematical formatting; figure layout; helpful environments and classes; referencing and indexing; and the mathtools and tikZ packages. Some familiarity with LaTeX is desirable, but none assumed; participants should have LaTeX and an editor or IDE installed prior to the workshop.

To apply for this funding, applicants should ask their supervisor or departmental graduate advisor to complete the online application form no later than September 23.

Applicants will be notified late in September of the funding decision. If successful, the student will receive a cheque for reimbursement of expenses after the meeting and upon completion and submission of the standard Travel Expense Claim Form, along with appropriate original receipts.
