LaTeX is the premier software system used for presenting scientific and technical information on the printed page, being the system of choice for writers in mathematics, the sciences, computer science, and engineering. It is also increasingly used by nontechnical writers interested in superior printing and document presentation. Authors wishing to take full advantage of this powerful software often have questions that go beyond how to use the basic style files or commands. For example, how can you integrate any of the high quality commercial fonts that are available? How can you typeset mathematics in anything other than the original TeX fonts? How can you generate complex graphics for use in a LaTeX document? What Internet resources are available to a LaTeX author? How can you connect TeX and LaTeX to everyday office software? In general, writers need clear, accurate, and concise instructions, solutions, and explanations for common problems and situations. This unique book provides this assistance, containing many examples and summaries of procedures to follow. TeX Unbound will be the reference of choice for every writer wishing to express technical information.br1. About TeX and LaTeXbr2. TeX, the Internet, and Multimediabr3. Mostly Metafontbr4.

Great math puzzle inventor, Henry Dudeney, had a talent for finding solutions to unsolvable problems. This book includes 110 of his puzzles, not as individual problems but as incidents in connected stories; the first 31 are amusingly posed by pilgrims in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Many require only the ability to exercise logical or visual skills; others offer a stimulating challenge to the mathematically advanced. Solutions included.
