| Description | Students at Masaryk University (MU) use TeX for many purposes, such as writing theses, essays, and papers. It is also used by the staff for teaching electronic publishing and literate programming, for writing scientific papers, quizzes and teaching resources, and for generating documents and web pages from university databases by the university information system. TeX and related technologies have been systematically supported and deployed at the Faculty of Informatics of MU (FI MU) for more than two decades. In this paper, we describe the TeX-related support and projects that we have realized at various levels. These include the design of the Faculty's visual identity, resources for teaching electronic publishing, and for database publishing directly from the University's information system. We evaluate the outcomes, and consider some possible future deployments of TeX-related technologies. With the data analytics of fithesis3 class support and its use at MU, we give arguments why the answer to the often-asked question in the title is in the affirmative, at least for computer science schools like ours and for authoring math publications. |
