Package bm:
Access bold symbols in maths mode.

The bm package defines a command \bm which makes its argument bold. The argument may be any maths object from a single symbol to an expression. This is closely related to the specification of the \boldsymbol command in AMS-LaTeX, but \bm is rather more careful in the way it does things.

The package is part of the tools bundle in the LaTeX required distribution.
