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

170 can be useful to more people than \SpecialChar LaTeX
172 It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn \SpecialChar LaTeX
174 is practically a programming language).
176 is basically like other

190 \begin_inset Quotes erd
194 In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
195 of \SpecialChar LaTeX
197 This is a Good Thing.
198 Also, the file format is platform independent.
199 Best of all, it's FREE!

203 Features of \SpecialChar LyX
207 \begin_layout Standard
209 has many features which make writing documents easier.
213 \begin_layout Plain Layout
214 After all, why else would you want to use it?
224 Here's a list of just a few.
227 \begin_layout Itemize
229 worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
232 \begin_layout Itemize
234 makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
237 \begin_layout Standard
238 For a more philosophical discussion of why \SpecialChar LyX
239 is better than lots of other
240 word processors, see Section

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

345 A couple notes about \SpecialChar LyX
349 \begin_layout Itemize
350 I was able to remove the lines made with dashes.
351 They were there purely to separate the title and references from the rest
355 ) knows enough to separate these parts of the document with space.
358 \begin_layout Itemize
359 I didn't bother putting the math equations in display mode.
360 Also, I didn't use \SpecialChar LyX
361 ' automatic equation numbering, because it's not described
