Narrative
Scientific, Mathematics & Engineering Publishing tools - Overleaf.com This software is currently used by Graduate & Undergraduate students to create technical papers, journals, thesis, dissertations and textbooks. Overleaf-LaTex provides a collaborative & interactive version of LaTex technical publishing. It is in use by many Universities and Organizations, including CERN. Science and research is a global enterprise, and over two million scientific papers are written every year in collaborations that span the globe. The Overleaf platform brings state-of-the-art, cloud-based collaborative authoring technology to institutions and the world of science. Our solutions are designed to make the whole process of writing, collaborating, teaching and publishing scientific documents in LaTeX much quicker and easier for all parties involved. Overleaf-LaTex is the document creation tool used by publishing to create technical papers, journals and textbooks. It allows for a simplified and standardized method to create documents, posters. Managing footnotes, images, graphics, tables and special characters are handled with ease. e.g. inserting Greek letters is as simple as typing out the name of the letter S \Sigma ? \Upsilon F \Phi ? \Psi ? \Omega Tables can be added by calling a function to insert a .CSV file. Graphics with captions are handled with ease. Math is very simple to publish: Put abc in the square_root symbol using \sqrt{abc} Overleaf-LaTex will simplify collaboration of creating technical documents with the same ease we experience sharing documents in Google-Docs.
