Tables in 10 minutes | Easy LaTeX Tables | STEM Skills with Dr. Sally

Tables are one of those things that can cause people headaches in LaTeX, and in STEM they're almost impossible to avoid. Luckily, we can cover everything you need to know about how to make great looking tables in only ten minutes! They're definitely not as bad as you've heard, and the best part is, you hardly have to do any typing.

I'm sorry for the ads at the start of the video, Google is placing them outside of my control (my channel is not monetised so I get no ad revenue). I recommend using an ad blocker browser extension if you don't want to see them.
