Math into LaTeX Reviews

The book under review meets the needs of mathematicians publishing mathematics in the many areas that now have to be taken into account. (H.Kroeger, zbMATH 0942.68137, 2022)

To sum up, Gratzer book can be recommended both as a very good introductory text for beginners as well as a handy up-to-date LaTeX reference for experienced users.

-Mathematical Reviews (Review of a previous edition)

Writing a sufficiently long math text (lecture notes, monographs) by a non-expert TeX writer wanting to produce a text of good typographical quality requires the use of a well-documented package. Gratzer's book is a solution.

-EMS Newsletter (Review of a previous edition)

This book is truly unique in its focus on getting started fast yet keeping it simple. It is indispensable for the beginner and a handy reference for the experienced user.

-Bulletin of the Mathematical Association of India (Review of a previous edition)
