Technical Writing Samples

This project contains technical writing samples that are written in LaTeX. I prefer LaTeX because it is much more efficient than commercial or open-source word processing applications, and it is text-based, which means that it can be tracked using Git. Additionally, updates to documents are made simple through branching in Git.

The only binary files here are illustrations in either .jpg or .png format.

All the files here use packages which should be contained in any standard LaTeX install. You are encouraged to download and compile them.

All documents and images are ©2025 Kenneth John Odle.

What is here…

  1. accuracy_vs_precision.tex — A drawing using the Tikz library to illustrate the difference between accuracy and precision in measurements.
  2. significant_figures.tex — An explanation of accuracy in measurement and the use of significant figures in calculations.
  3. tech-writ-temp.tex — A document template for technical documentation.
