Grad students will just just maple/mathematica to directly generate latex from an expression.

Which grad students? In CS the use of these is long gone (at least in the two departments I’ve been in). I wonder how prevalent they still are in physics.

But I’m pretty damn sure that physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists all just type their equations straight into latex unless it’s a super complicated computer generated formula, which you don’t typically write in papers..
