1.1 How LyX does it
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
+
+\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 [1])

The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
author's ideas.
As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
structure, not its visual appearance.

1.2 Why LyX is better
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
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
\begin_inset Quotes eld

What you see is what you get
\begin_inset Quotes erd

word processors, except that LyX is
\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
What you see is what you mean

+\end_inset
.
In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
This is a Good Thing.
Also, the file format is platform independent.
Best of all, it's FREE!

LyX has many features which make writing documents easier.

word processors, see Section 1.2, which can be found on page 1.

My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
If ax^2+bx+c=0 (eq.1), then x= -b + or minus the square root of b^2-4ac
all divided by 2a (eq.
2).

+\begin_layout Standard
Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus: f'(x) is defined as
the limit as deltax goes to zero of f(x+deltax) - f(x) divided by deltax
(eq.
3).
