| Quote | | To facilitate review, manuscripts should be prepared as MS Word documents (in Times or Times New Roman 12 pt with 1.5 line spacing) with numbered pages, complete with all elements (figures, tables, equations, etc.) that should be present in the final published PDF file. |
They don't expect many mathematicians to publish there, I suppose... |
What do mathematicians normally do? |
LaTeX/TeX (it really depends on their age, I presume)
It isn't easy to generate mathematical formulas in Word - and they look like crap. |
Agreed, for math there is little substitute for TeX/LaTeX. Word has always sucked for doing math. Many of my physics colleagues use Word for physics though. I prefer LyX (basically a GUI for LaTeX.) Are mathematicians still using plain TeX/LaTex?
I suppose I could go down tha hall and ask some of our new professors but... not too many of them here at 6AM on a Sunday :P
