107 The basic philosophy of \SpecialChar LyX
108 is that you should worry about the content of what
109 you're writing and not the form.
112 \begin_layout Subsection
117 \begin_layout Standard
119 uses \SpecialChar LaTeX
120 , a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport in 1985.
121 It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called \SpecialChar TeX
123 by Donald Knuth in 1984.
125 is designed around a philosophy similar to that of \SpecialChar LyX
127 Leslie Lamport once said (see reference
128 \begin_inset CommandInset citation
139 The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
141 For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
143 Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
144 should be distinguished visually from one another....
145 Since \SpecialChar LaTeX
146 can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the logical
147 structure by typing special commands....
148 As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
149 structure, not its visual appearance.

166 can be useful to more people than \SpecialChar LaTeX
168 It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn \SpecialChar LaTeX

185 What you see is what you mean
186 \begin_inset Quotes erd
190 In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
191 of \SpecialChar LaTeX
193 This is a Good Thing.
194 Also, the file format is platform independent.
195 Best of all, it's FREE!

199 Features of \SpecialChar LyX
203 \begin_layout Standard
205 has many features which make writing documents easier.
209 \begin_layout Plain Layout
210 After all, why else would you want to use it?
220 Here's a list of just a few.
223 \begin_layout Itemize
225 worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
228 \begin_layout Itemize
230 makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
233 \begin_layout Standard
234 For a more philosophical discussion of why \SpecialChar LyX
235 is better than lots of other
236 word processors, see Section

314 My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
316 \begin_inset Formula $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$
320 \begin_inset Formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$
327 \begin_layout Standard
328 Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus:
329 \begin_inset Formula $f'(x)\equiv\lim_{\Delta x\rightarrow0}\frac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}$

341 A couple notes about \SpecialChar LyX
345 \begin_layout Itemize
346 I was able to remove the lines made with dashes.
347 They were there purely to separate the title and references from the rest
351 ) knows enough to separate these parts of the document with space.
354 \begin_layout Itemize
355 I didn't bother putting the math equations in display mode.
356 Also, I didn't use \SpecialChar LyX
357 ' automatic equation numbering, because it's not described
365 \begin_layout Itemize
366 I didn't have to type the word
