What software should I use for designing a math textbook?

sackvilles · May 2012

I am currently writing a math textbook, and want to know what software publishers / authors use to design their book. I am currently using LaTeX to write up my book, however I need a software that can do fancy graphics as well as support math fonts. Any suggestions on software packages will be greatly appreciated.

It's Maths.

You do the math

Which is why it's Maths. You do the mathematic.... Mathematic what? Math equation yes, but there may be lots, in which case it is Maths. Damn yank tanks.

Any how how is this MTB buying advice? Writing a book - he's in marketing.

If LaTeX isn't solving all your problems, you should use more LaTex

So why not report the post?

PS. no need to now as it has been sorted.

Meh, not full enough. It is however, full of people who think they're nutters.
