Abstract
How you say something is often as important as what you say. A simple “Good Morning” can confuse even a wizard like Gandalf and this can be no more apparent than in writing mathematics where ambiguity is not tolerated. This explains one reason why LATE X has made such a major impact on mathematics even though it only deals with the syntax of mathematical writing and not its content. The TE X project started by Donald Knuth (1938–) gave mathematicians the tools they needed to be able to write beautifully typeset papers and books that brought to light the semantics of math in a crystal clear format. In this way, syntax precedes semantics.
