TeX (pronounced like "tech"-nology) is a typesetting language designed by Donald Knuth. The purpose of this course, through learning TeX, is to understand a little bit about what exactly typesetting is. Along the way we will also learn about macros, and hopefully something about what goes into designing and developing a language. While taking this course you should focus on why things work the way they do and not just how they work.
For this course you will be relying upon The TeXbook by Donald Knuth. It is his book about his own language.
