Getting started with LaTeX. The number one scientific publishing tool
From 12 £ /h
Session 1: Revolutionizing your Scientific Writing with LaTeX & AI
Duration: 2 Hours | Level: Beginner | Tools: Overleaf + AI**
First Hour: Foundations and Cloud Environment (60 min)
1. Introduction to LaTeX Philosophy (15 min)
- The "WYSIWYM" concept:** Explain the difference between Word (*What You See Is What You Get*) and LaTeX (*What You See Is What You Mean*). Why content takes precedence over form.
- Key advantages:** Unrivaled typographic quality, automatic reference management, stability on long documents (theses), and free of charge.
- The structure of a file:** Distinction between the **preamble** (the brain: settings and packages) and the **body of the document** (the heart: text).
2. Immersion in Overleaf (25 min)
- Configuration:** Creation of an account and first project "Blank Project".
- Exploring the interface:** The file panel (left), the code editor (middle) and the PDF preview (right).
- Real-time collaboration:** How to share a project and leave comments (like on Google Docs).
- History and versions:** How to revert to a previous version in case of a compilation error.
3. Practical Workshop: My First Document (20 min)
* Writing basic commands: `\documentclass`, `\usepackage[french]{babel}`, `\title`, `\author`.
* Compilation of the document and observation of the result.
* Structuring: Use of `\section` and `\subsection`.
Second Hour: Mathematics and the Magic of AI (60 min)
4. The Power of Mathematics (20 min)
- Mathematical modes:** Difference between the text (`$...$`) and the centered block (`\[...\]`).
- Essential syntax:** Fractions `\frac{}{}`, exponents `^`, indices `_`, and roots `\sqrt{}`.
- Introduction to AMS packages: Why amsmath and amssymb are essential for professional rendering.
5. From hand to screen: AI at the service of LaTeX (30 min)
- Presentation of OCR tools:** Use of **Mathpix Snip** (the leader) or models like Gemini/ChatGPT to transform a photo into code.
- Concrete demonstration:
1. Take a picture of a complex handwritten formula (e.g., an integral with matrices).
2. Use AI to generate the corresponding LaTeX code.
3. Correction and insertion: Learn to check the AI-generated code before copying and pasting it into Overleaf.
6. Conclusion and Q&A (10 min)
* Summary of achievements.
* Resources for further exploration
* Definition of the exercise for the next session.

Who should attend ?
This course is specifically designed for seniors, young retirees, or anyone wishing to update their computer skills at their own pace. No prior technical knowledge is required. Patience, clarity, and a supportive approach are at the heart of this training.
Why take this course?
Information technology should no longer be a barrier, but a tool to simplify your daily life and keep you connected with loved ones. This program has two objectives: to make you completely proficient with standard software (Word, Excel) and to introduce you, in a simple and engaging way, to the new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies that everyone is talking about.
Educational goals :
At the end of this learning cycle, you will be able to:
Drafting and formatting administrative or personal documents.
Managing a family budget or creating simple organizational lists.
Understand what Artificial Intelligence is (like ChatGPT or Gemini) and use it as a personal assistant on a daily basis.
Detailed program (Syllabus)
The program is adaptable to your initial level. Each session includes simplified theory and plenty of practice.
Module 1: The basics of office software (Microsoft Word)
Exploring the interface: the keyboard, the mouse, and the word processing screen.
Enter, correct and format text (bold, italics, colours, alignment).
Write an official letter or a letter to loved ones.
Save, find your document on the computer, and print it.
Module 2: Daily Organization (Microsoft Excel)
Understanding the principle of tables and cells.
Create simple lists (address book, shopping list).
Create a tracking table for the monthly budget (expenses, income).
Use basic formulas (automatic sum) to have the computer calculate for you.
Module 3: The Arrival of Artificial Intelligence (Chatbots)
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? A simple explanation and demystification.
Discover virtual assistants (ChatGPT or Gemini): how to access them for free and securely.
The art of the "Prompt" (the query): how to ask the right questions to the machine to get the best answers.
Practical workshops with AI:
Ask him to draft a complex email.
Looking for recipe ideas using leftovers from the fridge.
Have him summarize a long newspaper article.
Organize a travel itinerary from A to Z.
Module 4: Safety and Best Practices
Recognizing reliable information in the face of AI "hallucinations" (errors).
The golden rules for protecting your personal data on the internet and in Office documents.
My Pedagogical Methodology
The approach is entirely personalized. I adapt to your learning pace. Each new concept is immediately followed by a practical, concrete exercise directly related to your everyday needs (writing to an administration, planning your vacation, etc.). Simplified course materials can be provided at the end of each session to help you review on your own.

Do you want to discover the world of programming but don't know where to start? Python is the ideal language: easy to read, powerful and used everywhere (Web, Artificial Intelligence, Automation).
This course is designed for complete beginners, students, or enthusiasts who want to acquire a solid foundation without getting bogged down in overly complex theory. My goal is to make you independent quickly.
In the program :
The content is adapted to your pace, but generally follows this progression:
Installation & Setup: Configure your working environment (VS Code, PyCharm or IDLE).
The Fundamentals: Variables, data types (numbers, lists, dictionaries) and basic operations.
Programming Logic: Mastering conditions (if/else) and loops (for/while) to give intelligence to your code.
Functions & Modularity: Learn how to structure your code so that it is clean and reusable.
My Methodology
80% Practice: You learn better by typing code than by looking at slides.
Positive Pedagogy: No judgment, we move forward step by step. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn.
Personalized Support: I adapt to your specific objectives (homework help, personal project or intellectual curiosity).
