101 The basic philosophy of \SpecialChar LyX
102 is that you should worry about the content of what
103 you're writing and not the form.
106 \begin_layout Subsection
111 \begin_layout Standard
113 uses \SpecialChar LaTeX
114 , a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport in 1985.
115 It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called \SpecialChar TeX
117 by Donald Knuth in 1984.
119 is designed around a philosophy similar to that of \SpecialChar LyX
121 Leslie Lamport once said (see reference
122 \begin_inset CommandInset citation
132 The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
134 For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
136 Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
137 should be distinguished visually from one another....
138 Since \SpecialChar LaTeX
139 can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the logical
140 structure by typing special commands....
141 As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
142 structure, not its visual appearance.

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

169 What you see is what you get
170 \begin_inset Quotes erd
173 word processors, except that \SpecialChar LyX

178 What you see is what you mean
179 \begin_inset Quotes erd
183 In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
184 of \SpecialChar LaTeX
186 This is a Good Thing.
187 Also, the file format is platform independent.
188 Best of all, it's FREE!

192 Features of \SpecialChar LyX
196 \begin_layout Standard
198 has many features which make writing documents easier.
202 \begin_layout Plain Layout
203 After all, why else would you want to use it?
213 Here's a list of just a few.
216 \begin_layout Itemize
218 worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
221 \begin_layout Itemize
223 makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
226 \begin_layout Standard
227 For a more philosophical discussion of why \SpecialChar LyX
228 is better than lots of other
229 word processors, see Section

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

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