Who this is for
- Analysts and researchers who write reports, papers, or documentation and want them to look sharp without fighting LaTeX. Any familiarity with markup or R/Python helps, but is not required.
Not for you if
- You want a beginner course on writing or report structure — this is about the tool, not the prose
- You only ever export to Word or Google Docs and won't touch any markup
- You want a deep dive into LaTeX internals
- You're after a data-analysis course — this is document production

Reimbursement email template
Subject: Approval request — AthlyticZ workshop: Typst for Data Science Hi [Manager], I'd like to enroll in "Typst for Data Science," a live 1-session workshop from AthlyticZ (Jul 24) led by Dr. Albert Rapp. After this workshop you'll produce publication-quality PDFs and reports straight from your data using Typst, a modern, faster alternative to LaTeX. It is directly relevant to my work, and I'll finish with a concrete deliverable I can bring back to the team. It includes live instruction, lifetime replays, and a provisioned enterprise Posit workspace. Could this come out of our learning and development budget? I'm happy to forward the receipt and a certificate of completion. Thanks, [Your name]
