This is a note explaining about document preparation systems for writing a document with mathematical expressions and document formats for distributing such a document using a personal computer. Many university staffs and students often have to prepare documents that include mathematical expressions. Simple fractions such as 'one over n' can not be written using some application software programs. Various document preparation systems and computer languages are introduced and evaluated. Distribution of a document is often required. One simple way is to print out the document and distribute it. However, it is difficult to reuse a document that has been printed out on paper. A document can also be distributed using a floppy disk or a computer network. In this note, various document formats are introduced and are evaluated. It is concluded that L^AT_EX is the best document preparation system. It has a plenty of functions to enable various mathematical expressions to be written. PDF is considered to be the best for document format. PDF is designed to be distributed via the Internet. There is an official and free viewer. There is no confusion among users.
