TeX is a typesetting program designed for high-quality composition of
material that contains a lot of mathematical and technical expressions.
It has been adopted by many authors and publishers who generate
technical books and papers. It was created by
Professor Donald
E.Knuth of Stanford University, originally for preparation
of his book series
“The
Art of Computer Programming”. TeX has been made freely
available by Knuth.
From these origins a whole eco-system of distributions, macro packages,
and supporting programs has arisen.
