Why LATEX?
It’s free. It’s available for many machines. TEX is to beautifully typeset technical documents especially those containing a lot of Mathematics. It is very difficult (sometimes even impossible) to produce complex mathematical formulas using a word processor. If you want your document to look really beautiful then LATEX is the natural choice.
