pdflatex filename.tex or pdflatex filename will run the LaTeX typesetting program to produce typeset output from your input file.In order to do this in unix, you will need the commands: You should begin by downloading the template and making sure that you can LaTeX it successfully to produce output that looks like the hard copy of the template paper posted on the course web page. You can construct your paper by cutting the text out of the template text and inserting your own. To get started, you need only download the templates, open them in your favorite editor (such as emacs), and notice the way the LaTeX template deals with title pages, footnotes, references, equations, mathematical symbols in text and set off from text, equation labels, tabs, and so forth. If ReVTeX is not installed on your machine, you can download it from ReVTeX page. To facilitate writing and publication of your finished papers, we have put a template for an article in the ReVTeX format (PDF) used by Physical Review for you to download.

Since your paper will be published in the 8.06 Physical Review, you will do essentially the same, except our “publisher” prefers to your submitted paper to be in final pdf format.Īlthough many 8.06 students have had previous exposure to LaTeX, some have not. One of the objectives of this assignment is to give you an experience preparing a physics paper for “publication.” When practicing physicists submit papers to the Physical Review, they do so by emailing a LaTeX file, and perhaps some postscript figures, to the editorial office.

They are “mark-up” languages, like HTML, that tell a processor how to construct mathematical expressions that look like typeset text.

LaTeX (and its ancestor TeX) are widely used in academic and technical publishing. Arrow_back browse course material library_books
