Section 1 Welcome to PTX

Let's begin by overviewing a few topics we might cover, and introduce ourselves.

Subsection 1.1 Why we're here

First, I'll introduce myself, and a little bit of how I got started using PreTeXt, or PTX. I bet many of you will have similar stories of wanting to do something creative while making it easily available to students. Many of you may even work at institutions with vested interests in promoting open educational resources.
