TeX is a typesetting system for high-quality document preparation. TeX itself does not provide a GUI like most word processing programs, but is invoked to process a document which contains commands and the actual content. Because of its superior formatting of mathematical formulae, TeX is very popular in the scientific community. TeX is most often used in the form of LaTeX, which is a macro package based on TeX. Another popular tool in the context of TeX is BibTeX, a program for processing bibliographic databases.
