The UK TeX Users Group is organising another introductory LaTeX course on April 15th, 2011 in Cambridge.
Using LaTeX to Write a Thesis
This course is aimed at beginners and will cover a range of topics connected with writing a dissertation in LaTeX, including:
- Installing LaTeX for the first time
- Creating a document
- Document structure
- Graphics
- Managing a bibliography with BibTeX
Registration
The course only costs £10, so I imagine places will be taken very quickly.
To register, e-mail Joseph Wright <joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk> and include:
- Your completed UK-TUG membership form as an attachment (a year’s membership is included in the course fee)
- Details of your LaTeX experience (if any), including which operating system you use
- What your general subject area is (to help plan the course content)

For those of you who missed the UK TeX Users Group and University of East Anglia course back in July, there’s another LaTeX training session happening at Oxford this October.
An Introduction to LaTeX
The Department for Continuing Education at Oxford University is organising a full-day course on October 16th.
It is aimed at beginners and will cover creating documents (including letters), graphics and bibliography.
Registration
The course costs £50 and enrolment is either online or by downloading an application form – both available on the course webpage:

I’ve just discovered that the LaTeX course organised by the UK TeX Users Group and the University of East Anglia is now fully booked.
There’s clearly a need for introductory courses like these!
Future Courses
It sounds like the UK TeX Users Group will repeat this course later in the year if there’s sufficient demand. Joseph Wright writes:
We are starting a list of interested people in case anyone drops out, and will be looking at holding another course later in the year if there is the interest. So do consider sending a registration e-mail: the more people we know are interested the more likely it is that another course can be organised.
Who to Contact
As before, please email Joseph Wright <joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk> with details of your experience with LaTeX and your academic subject area.
In London on July 30th the UK TeX Users Group and the University of East Anglia will be running a course on how to use LaTeX to write a thesis.
