Availability of LaTeX

TeX and LaTeX themselves are in the public domain; they are free. For systems that have no TeX software, a good core TeX/LaTeX can be downloaded from the Web for free:

TeXShop (for Macintosh OS X)
fpTeX or MiKTeX (for Windows systems)
teTeX (for Unix systems)

Additional macros, fonts, bibliographic styles, etc., are available (if needed) at

CTAN (the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network)
LaTeX3 Project web site
SIAM macros for journals, book, conference reports

Search engines (Google etc.) can help you find other sources, if needed.
