Academic Writing
$\TeX$
$\TeX$ is a typesetting program specialized in representing mathematical formulas, and can be viewed as a markup language that is essential to learn when writing papers in fields close to formal sciences. Note that $\TeX$ is pronounced [tek] not [teks]. Also, $\LaTeX$ is pronounced [lay-tek] not [la-tek].
For reference, the default font used in $\LaTeX$ is ‘Computer Modern’.
Before the body of the document begins, that is, between \documentclass{article} and \begin{document}, this section is called the preamble, where necessary packages are imported and custom code is written.

- Do Not Use Articles Before Figure, Table, or Appendix
Sentence Patterns
- V at the rate $a$: V at the rate $a$
- In the Vicinity of X: in the vicinity of X
- A Combination of A and B: a X coupling A and B
- The Corresponding X: the corresponding X
- Play a Role in V-ing: play a A role V-ing
- S Remains A: S remains A
- Y Which We Call X: Y which we call X
