It would be better to merge all commits into one commit. git rebase can do it.

Done. Thanks for the advice.

## Why Study LaTeX?

If you're about to write a paper, skip to the next section because learning LaTeX is essential.

LaTeX is a typesetting system based on TeX, developed by Turing Award winner Leslie Lamport. TeX, originally created by Donald Knuth, is also a significant contribution to the field of computer science. However, we don't learn LaTeX because of the developers' prestige. The key advantage of LaTeX over commonly used word processors like Microsoft Word is that it allows users to focus solely on the content while the software takes care of the typesetting. This means that even individuals without prior typesetting experience can create professionally formatted papers or articles.

In a semi-joking manner, Christos Papadimitriou, a computer science professor at Berkeley, once remarked:

> Every time I read a LaTeX document, I think, wow, this must be correct!

## How to Study LaTeX

Follow the recommended learning path outlined below:

- Setting up a LaTeX environment can be a daunting task. If you encounter difficulties configuring it on your local machine, consider using [Overleaf], an online LaTeX editor. The website provides various LaTeX templates and eliminates the hassle of setting up the environment.
- Read the following three tutorials: [Part-1], [Part-2], [Part-3].
- The best way to learn LaTeX is by writing a paper, but starting with a math course and using LaTeX for homework is also a viable option.

[Part-3]: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/learn/free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-3

Other recommended introductory learning materials are as follows:

- A concise guide on installing LaTeX, such as the TEX Live Guide [[PDF](https://tug.org/texlive/)], can help you complete the installation and environment configuration process.
- A (not so) short introduction to LaTeX2ε [[PDF](https://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf)] [[GitHub](https://github.com/CTeX-org/lshort-zh-cn)] can help you quickly and accurately get started with LaTeX. It is recommended to thoroughly read this resource.

## Why Should You Learn LaTeX?

If you're preparing to write a research paper, learning LaTeX is critical. 

LaTeX is a typesetting system that builds upon TeX, a creation of Leslie Lamport, a Turing Award laureate. Donald Knuth, the original developer of TeX, also made significant contributions to computer science. However, the prestige of its creators isn't the reason we learn LaTeX. The primary benefit of using LaTeX, as opposed to more common word processors like Microsoft Word, lies in its focus on content creation while it manages the typesetting. This separation allows those unfamiliar with typesetting to produce professionally formatted papers or articles.

Christos Papadimitriou, a computer science professor at Berkeley, humorously noted:

> Every time I read a LaTeX document, I think, wow, this must be correct!

## Steps to Learn LaTeX

Here is a recommended path for learning LaTeX:

- Setting up a local LaTeX environment can be challenging. If you find it hard, consider using [Overleaf], an online LaTeX editor. Overleaf provides various LaTeX templates and takes away the hassle of configuring the environment on your machine.
- Complete these three tutorials: [Part-1], [Part-2], [Part-3].
- Practice by writing a paper in LaTeX. Alternatively, you could start using LaTeX for your math homework.
