Need Latex in school?
I have been using MS word for the past few years at work. I like Word, but dont like its equations editor. In school, earleir, I shied away from LaTEX (which was a hit among my friends in Math, sciences, electrical engineering, and others), and stuck to another program called Framemaker (acquired by Adobe later..).
I love the LaTEX produced documents though, especially the clarity of the mathematical formulae (I know this is going to be a very geeky post, I can almost feel it).
I just starting playing with LaTEX for windows - MikTEX along with a editor Winedt (install in that order) and got started on some rudimentary LaTEX. The question is - do I need it for my MFE course? Probably not, but then it may help in those SDE homeworks.. :)-
Here are some tutorials to get started:

thats great info.. Londoner!!
Thansk I will check it out. Btw, what your background?
Cal has SW on their PCs, but I guess I need some stuff for my laptop as well.
Great idea.. would be great to see others blogging on their MFE/MSc experience, esp vis-a-vis London (the City apparently hires more Qunats than NYC.. is that true??)
