Function Space is a ‘one-stop’ solution for learning science on the web. Learning science is a three step process that includes learning, discussing and problem solving. You can learn from information rich video lectures, dig deep in science books and read expert authored articles. Brainstorming is the interesting side of learning science through discussions with peers and subject matter experts. The last part is taken care of in the challenges sections where you can solve challenging problems or challenge your friends.

LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. For more details see here.
