Introduction to LaTeX

The publication of scientific documents puts special demand on typesetting tools. Especially the heavy use of mathematic formulae in physics as well as large lists of citations make LaTeX an interesting and important tool for physicists in writing theses - ranging from bachelor's to professorial theses - as well as publications.

Virtual Observatory

Ground-based and space observatories keep collecting huge amounts of astronomical data in the form of images, spectra and catalogues for all kind of astronomical objects. These are completed by computer simulations such as of the large scale structure of the universe. The Virtual Observatory (VO) not only allows to easily discover, access and use these data but also provides software to visualize and analyse it.
