O uso do latex como ferramenta de editor de textos para trabalhos de conclusão de curso

Abstract

When it comes to term paper, the search for excellence and quality of the text is fundamental, especially when it involves scientific terms and expressions, such as mathematical expressions. In this sense, the LaTex tool has been an important ally in achieving these purposes. After a first contact in a mini-course offered by the institution for students of the degree in Mathematics, the idea arose to publicize the importance of LaTex not only as a mathematical text editor, but also as a tool to help the composition and elaboration of a term paper. In this sense, we provide in this work a script for writing through a sophisticated editor, also providing a historical survey of the emergence of this tool, pointing out advantages and disadvantages of the editor. To prepare the script, we used a model provided by this educational institution as a basis.
