LaTeX
On this page you will find a few links to help you get started with LaTeX as a writing tool.
I have on a couple of occasions given a short talk about how to get started writing documents in LaTeX. It is a very simple introduction, listing a few tools, giving the most basic commands and a few examples. You can find a version of my slides.
If you are going to write your thesis, a few hints on how to organize your work can be found in this article by Lapo F. Mori .
You will also find some more LaTeX links here. I will try to organize them a bit better later.
