LaTex is a document preparation system. You use defined commands/symbols to achieve things (making text bold, creating tables, etc.) unlike Microsoft Word or other related programs.
Remember writing HTML? You write *tags* in notepad to achieve different things unlike Dreamweaver/other WYSIWYG editors where you just drag-drop-edit content. Think of LaTex as the Notepad & MS Word as Dreamweaver.
Most of the programming/math papers you see on the internet are made in Latex. A lot of books also (intro to algorithms - CLRS is one of them)
As with everything in life, proficiency in Latex comes with practice. You can start from here
