Thesis and LaTeX

I write my thesis about implicit surfaces in Blender finaly. I write it in LaTeX, because my thesis includes lot of tricky math and writing math equations and other math formulas is realy easy in LaTeX. I write it in czech language, because I have to write about 50 pages and it is enough hard for me to write so big amount of text in czech language ;-). I will translate some part to the english language and I will place it at blender wiki. You can already find some translated parts there (equations are created in LaTeX). I have to mention this czechLaTeX manual. It is realy good resource of information.
