課程概述 |
This mini-course provides an introduction to Latex, widely used in the scientific community to typeset documents and presentations. While we will cover the basics for a variety of document types, our main focus is on creating beautiful slides to present your research in the most effective way. In particular, a good amount of time is dedicated to creating graphs, images, visualizing code and data, and on accessing your scientific output from MATLAB, R, or Python with as little manual effort as possible. |
課程目標 |
Course Objective
The main goal of this course is to improve the students’ efficiency while working with Latex. The less time you spend figuring out how to write up or present your research, the more time you have to actually work on your research.
Course outline (Course Schedule of 5 lectures)
Lecture 1: Latex engines, editors, and packages. Typesetting formulas, lists, tables, and figures. Organizing your document with sections, theorems, and appendices. References and Citations.
Lecture 2: Embedding images/videos/code. Creating your own commands and packages. Helpful tools for collaborations. Variants of Latex: Xetex and Luatex.
Lecture 3: Creating graphs with TikZ: a Latex drawing engine. Improving coding efficiency with global style settings, Cartesian/polar/relative coordinates, for loops, and if statements. Plotting functions, importing and visualizing data from Matlab, R, and Python.
Lecture 4: Creating slides with Beamer. Customizing styles, color schemes, and beamer templates. Overlays and handouts. Layout guidelines: space management and visual cues.
Lecture 5: Student presentations |
課程要求 |
Grading:
Student presentations 100%
In groups, students optimize the Latex implementation of one task that frequently occurs when presenting economic research. Students present their findings to the class one week after the fourth lecture. Grading criteria are originality of the problem, efficiency of the Latex code of their solution, and aesthetics of the slides.
Requirements for students after the class:
The students are able to write beautiful Latex documents in a time-efficient manner. |
