def parse_latex(s):
    r"""Converts the string ``s`` to a SymPy ``Expr``

    Parameters
    ==========

    s : str
        The LaTeX string to parse. In Python source containing LaTeX,
        *raw strings* (denoted with ``r"``, like this one) are preferred,
        as LaTeX makes liberal use of the ``\`` character, which would
        trigger escaping in normal Python strings.

    Examples
    ========

    >>> from sympy.parsing.latex import parse_latex  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> expr = parse_latex(r"\frac {1 + \sqrt {\a}} {\b}")  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> expr  # doctest: +SKIP
    (sqrt(a) + 1)/b
    >>> expr.evalf(4, subs=dict(a=5, b=2))  # doctest: +SKIP
