Re: [TUHS] eqn

I'm going to give a contrarian response. You may be wrong, and he maybe should do LaTex. Why? because it's what his peer group, and professors, and other people like markers and tutorial assisters will expect, and he can use things like OverLeaf very probably on the Uni tab, which has shared edit, all kinds of useful templates, and help communities. You don't want to tie him to your apron strings, for help: He needs to learn how to go out into the world and hassle other people for help too! My son, who is in the same kind-of cohort but perhaps 6years ahead, wrote his thesis in OverLeaf and did very well in it. The markup is XArchiV and journal friendly: His chances of getting through peer review barriers which obsess with form, and not function (sad) is better. Sometimes, being the stand-out is not good. I was the only visible Athiest in school and when I found a copy of the scots prayer book, it was different page numbers and I couldn't find the hymn before they'd finished singing it. I guess the example I am giving doesn't help my own story because I am an essentially HAPPY athiest, but still: you don't always want to be running against the stream. If the maths is good, he's born to fly solo, and is heading into place of excellence, none of this will matter. If he is looking to relate to his community, it may.
