WHAT IS LATEX?
LaTeX is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program.It refers only to the language the document is written not the editors they are used.LaTeX is most widely used in academic purposes.

WHY LATEX?
Of course their are other documenting systems and styles in industry but this one is used because of the high quality of typesetting achievable by TeX. The typesetting system offers programmable desktop publishing features and extensive facilities for automating most aspects of typesetting and desktop publishing, including numbering and cross-referencing, tables and figures, page layout and bibliographies.
