![]() ![]() Because I did not have access to a computer or any software the 18 or so months after Summer 1993, I still hand-wrote tests and handouts and such (as I'd always done, since the first class I taught, Summer 1983). ![]() That said, there is at least one alternative that does not involve as steep a learning curve as directly coding LaTeX, which incidentally I did when writing my dissertation (1993, 200+ pages with many complex math expressions), something I did by making heavy use of Leslie Lamport's 1986 spiral bound manual LaTeX. Thus, to answer your question, the middle and high school math teachers you’ve encountered probably have had very little contact with anyone using LaTeX. ![]() for middle and high school math teachers, strongly desires manuscripts written in MS Word with MathType. Even the journal The Mathematics Teacher, which by a wide margin is the best known and most influential journal in the U.S. (what follows was assembled from several comments, now deleted)Īt least in the U.S., once you get away from academic research environments that are strongly connected to math, and you become immersed in environments such as academic education departments, academic business departments, education administration, pretty much any business or financial setting, even the preparation of math questions for standardized math tests, you'll find essentially zero official use of LaTeX.
