Latex software
LATEX is a high-quality typesetting system; it includes
features designed for the production of technical and
scientiﬁc documentation.
It takes a computer ﬁle, prepared according to the LATEX
rule and converts it to a form that may be printed on a
high-quality printer, such as a laser writer, to produce a
printed document of a quality comparable with good
quality books and journals.
Simple documents, which do not contain mathematical
formulae or tables may be produced very easily and
effectively.
It is particularly suited to the production of long articles
and books, since it has facilities for the automatic
numbering of chapters, sections, theorems, equations
etc., and also has facilities for cross-referencing.

Why LATEX is more important?
TEX math mode is a thing of beauty. Equations come
out looking correct.
TEX is guaranteed to be bug free.
There are no TEX ”macro” viruses. You can safely
receive TEX documents by email and not worry about it
reading your OutLook address book and mailing copies
of itself to all your friends and colleagues.
TEX has no GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). Word
documents are embedded with a code that can be
traced back to your computer
TEX versions are not incompatible. The file format has
never changed. The prepared file can be used in any
system, any version can be used for the same file.
TEX documents are small and lean.

Mehar The Layout of document
Definition (Preamble of LaTeX)
The preamble is the first section of an input file, before the
text of the document itself, in which you tell LATEX the type of
document, and other information LATEX will need to format
the document correctly.

Mehar Use of packages
Definition (Package)
While writing your document, you will probably find that
there are some areas where basic LATEX cannot solve your
problem. If you want to include mathematical stuff, graphics,
coloured text or source code from a file into your document,
you need to enhance the capabilities of LATEX. Such
enhancements are called packages.
Packages are activated with the command
usepackage[options]{package}
where package is the name of the package and options is a
list of keywords that trigger special features in the package.

Common packages you may want to include are listed below, with
short descriptions.
amsmath provides additional mathematical typesetting
amssymb provides mathematical symbols
amsthm provides theorem formatting for AMS publications
fancyhdr provides customisable headers and footers
graphics provides graphics support
graphicx provides extended graphics support (use instead
of graphics)
hyperref provides navigation support for PDF documents
url provides clickable URL support
times change the font to Times Roman
natbib allows author year type of citations similar to ‘Disney
et al. (2003)’, etc.

mand is
begin{tabular}[pos]{cols}
rows
end{tabular}
pos is the vertical positioning argument and take
values c, t and b.
cols is the column formatting argument.
rows contain the actual entries in the table and
separated from each other by the & symbol.

The objective of the present
paper is to establish cer-
tain (presumably) new and
useful integral results involv-
ing the generalized Multi-
index Mittag-Lefﬂer function
and the Srivastava polyno-
mial. Next, we obtain certain
new integrals and expansion
formulas by the application of
our theorems. Some inter-
esting special cases of our
main results are also consid-
ered.
