Materials for MIT Political Methodology Lab workshop introducing people to coding in LaTeX. The workshop covers a basic introduction to the LaTeX language, how to setup a LaTeX document, some key environments/commands, including figures/tables/code, and some troubleshooting advice. The slide deck also contains additional resources for including references through BibTeX and a quick introduction to create slide decks using Beamer. Practice files are provided, but I encourage everyone to go over the main slide deck to see how a rather complicated presentation is setup.
All the practice (BibTeX and Beamer) materials are in the practice folder. The main presentation is main.pdf, its associated handout, main-handout.pdf, and the source code main.tex are located in the parent folder. Figures included in the presentation are in the figures folder.
