freemath – LaTeX maths without backslashes
This package allows for the omission of backslashes from most math mode commands. Specifically, any consecutive string of at least two (Latin) letters appearing in math mode will automatically be turned into the control sequence with the same name, if it exists.
The package provides the \freemathon and \freemathoff commands which respectively activate and deactivate this behaviour. It is disabled by default upon loading.
Regular commands initiated by a backslash may of course still be used when freemath is active, and can furthermore be freely mixed with backslash-free commands.
