LaTeX is indeed tha bomb. I use the TeTeX distribution of
TeX/LaTeX because it is Free Software (or at least most recently is).
It's based on LaTeX2e, which is the most recent revision out there.
Lamport's introductory text is a must-have, but I managed to
use http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer/GSWLaTeX.tex as an
example and tutorial. That got my undergraduate math-major brother up
and running very quickly.
