We offer customized Zoom
or On-Site LaTeX training.
We've had years of experience
teaching LaTeX On-Site -- for publishing companies, scientific
associations, TeX User's Group, Harvard Math Department,
Harvard School of Public Health, MIT, and many other locations
all over the US and in the Netherlands and Sweden.
Recently we've started teaching LaTeX using Zoom!
It's been fun! and helpful to class participants.
So we are announcing Zoom classes available, using our generously
hyperlinked 300 page plus e-book:
"Understanding LaTeX:
A Visual Guide for Beginners"
See sample chapter below
You are welcome to arrange for a class
for your organization, or for one-on-one instruction, via Zoom or
On-Site instruction.

Click on the image below to see a chapter from
our course notes on making tables.
Only the hyperlinked tabs at the bottom of the page
will work, since this is a single chapter.
In the
complete e-book hyperlinking at the top of the page will work
as well, making it easy to locate the points of interest throughout
the e-book.
Enjoy!

Teaching Experience
Over the years, companies that
have commissioned a TeXnology LaTeX macro package have also asked for training
to help their staff work with the new style, and to become
comfortable with using LaTeX, including
Pacific Northwest National Lab,
the American Geophysical Union,
the National Academy of Sciences, American
Meteorological Society, the Federal
Reserve Bank, Richmond, and Kluwer Academic Press, among others.
Some organizations request LaTeX training for their support staff.
Examples include: National Bureau of Economic Research,
Carnegie Mellon Software Enterprise Institute, Oak Ridge National Lab,
Pacific Northwest National Lab,
Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard School of Engineering and
Applied Science, MIT Lincoln Lab, MIT Press and MIT
Artificial Intelligence Lab, and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and
KAPL, Albany (taught with Zoom).
Academic departments have asked for training
for their support staff, at Harvard and MIT in particular.
We've taught a Beginning LaTeX course for MIT Information
Services for the MIT support staff more than 20 times.
