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

How LyX does it

+\begin_layout Standard
LyX uses LaTeX, a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport
in 1985.
by Donald Knuth in 1984.
LaTeX is designed around a philosophy similar to that of LyX.
Leslie Lamport once said (see reference

):

As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical

LyX can be useful to more people than LaTeX.
It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn LaTeX
(which is practically a programming language).
LyX is basically like other

This is a Good Thing.
Also, the file format is platform independent.
Best of all, it's FREE!

My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
If
-\begin_inset Formula \( ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \)

+\begin_inset Formula $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$

(eq.1), then
-\begin_inset Formula \( x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \)

I was able to remove the lines made with dashes.
They were there purely to separate the title and references from the rest
of the document.
LyX (LaTeX) knows enough to separate these parts of the document with space.
