Hello, I am interested in your project. I am mechanical engineer, and I look some job here on freelancer that is not just a simple typing. I need job like this to get my positive review. I am not LyX expert, I just see what it is all about, and I thing that I can do this for you. At my collage I had same thing to type for my own project and I do that in word. I can send you examples of that work.
I am willing to try this project of yours, and learn LyX. I will learn my self, just tell me if you can send me some examples, I can start right away and try to do this for you. Contact me if you find this offer of mine interesting for you.
