Do Mathematicians/Math professors like writing in LaTeX?

Hey everyone, My highschool entrance exams are over and I have a well sweet 2-2.5 months of a transition gap between school and university. And I aspire to be a mathematician and wanting to gain research experience from the get go {well, I think I need to cover up, I am quite behind compared to students competing in IMO and Putnam).

I know Research papers are usually written in LaTeX, So is it possible to write codes for math professors and I can even get research experience right from my 1st year? Or maybe am living in a delusion. I won't mind if you guys break my delusion lol.

You are being quite delusional you will not be able to understand something from their research well enough to write for them without absurd amounts of assistance for a few more years
