TeX (pronounced "tech")
is the name of the groundbreaking scientific and mathematical typesetting
program developed by Donald Knuth,
professor emeritus of computer science at Stanford, winner of the Kyoto Prize in 1993, widely
considered one of the greatest computer scientists, and who is currently
in the midst of a decades-long endeavor to write a multivolume opus, The Art of Computer
Programming (the first volumes of which are already considered classic
works). TeX and its popular associated
macro, LaTeX, allow
writers to flexibly typeset complex scientific and mathematical notation,
and are the standard typesetting programs used by scientists. PC-TeX is the PC verson of the
application.
