Experimenting with LATEX

摘要

The positive comments about Mei, by Chris Linton FIMA in the December 2010 Mathematics Today, encouraged me to experiment with the language. After an hour to download the recommended proTeXt bundling of the MiKTex distribution via www. ctan. org, the package ate up half my hard drive and failed to run on the machine/operating system combination. The installation was very straightforward, when I upgraded to a machine from the 21st century and with good documentation swift progress was made following initial familiarisation.
