TeX (), stylized as '''', is a typesetting program that was designed and written by computer scientist and Stanford University professor Donald Knuth and first released in 1978. The term now refers to the system of extensions – which includes software programs called TeX engines'', sets of TeX macros, and packages which provide extra typesetting functionality – built around the original TeX language. TeX is a popular means of typesetting complex mathematical formulae; it has been noted as one of the most sophisticated digital typographical systems.
TeX is a typesetting program created by Donald Knuth in 1978 that has evolved into a system of software tools and packages designed to format and print documents, particularly those with complex mathematical equations. It remains widely used today because it produces highly sophisticated typography and handles mathematical notation better than most other available systems.

TEX（/tɛx/，常被读作/tɛk/，音译“泰赫”，“泰克”，写作“TeX”），是一个由美国计算机教授高德纳（Donald Ervin Knuth）编写的排版软件。TeX的MIME类型为application/x-tex，是一款自由软件。它在学术界特别是数学、物理学和计算机科学界十分流行。TEX被普遍认为是一个优秀的排版工具，尤其是对于复杂数学公式的处理。利用LaTeX等终端软件，TeX就能够排版出精美的文本以幫助人們辨認和尋找。
