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

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

179 word processors, except that \SpecialChar LyX

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

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

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

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