116 The basic philosophy of \SpecialChar LyX
117 is that you should worry about the content of what you're writing and not the form.

127 uses \SpecialChar LaTeX
129 a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport in 1985.
132 was built up from a typesetting language called \SpecialChar TeX
134 created by Donald Knuth in 1984.
136 is designed around a philosophy similar to that of \SpecialChar LyX
138 Leslie Lamport once said (see reference
139 \begin_inset CommandInset citation
150 The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the author's ideas.
151 For a document to be easy to read,
152 its visual structure must reflect its logical structure.
153 Quotations and computer programs,
154 being logically distinct structural elements,
155 should be distinguished visually from one another....
156 Since \SpecialChar LaTeX
157 can't understand your prose,
158 you must explicitly indicate the logical structure by typing special commands....
159 As you are writing your document,
160 you should be concerned with its logical structure,
161 not its visual appearance.

178 can be useful to more people than \SpecialChar LaTeX
180 It's considerably easier to learn,
181 because you don't need to learn \SpecialChar LaTeX
182 (which is practically a programming language).

214 Features of \SpecialChar LyX
218 \begin_layout Standard
220 has many features which make writing documents easier.
224 \begin_layout Plain Layout
226 why else would you want to use it?
236 Here's a list of just a few.

335 My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
337 \begin_inset Formula $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$
342 \begin_inset Formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

350 Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus:
352 \begin_inset Formula $f'(x)\equiv\lim_{\Delta x\rightarrow0}\frac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}$
