ams­math – AMS math­e­mat­i­cal fa­cil­i­ties for LaTeX

The pack­age pro­vides the prin­ci­pal pack­ages in the AMS-LaTeX dis­tri­bu­tion. It adapts for use in LaTeX most of the math­e­mat­i­cal fea­tures found in AMS-TeX; it is highly rec­om­mendsd as an ad­junct to se­ri­ous math­e­mat­i­cal type­set­ting in LaTeX.
When ams­math is loaded, AMS-LaTeX pack­ages ams­bsy (for bold sym­bols), am­sopn (for op­er­a­tor names) and am­s­text (for text em­bded­ded in math­e­mat­ics) are also loaded.
Ams­math is part of the LaTeX re­quired dis­tri­bu­tion; how­ever, sev­eral con­tributed pack­ages add still fur­ther to its ap­peal; ex­am­ples are em­pheq, which pro­vides func­tions for dec­o­rat­ing and high­light­ing math­e­mat­ics, and nthe­o­rem, for spec­i­fy­ing the­o­rem (and sim­i­lar) def­i­ni­tions.
