Mathematical Fonts and Symbols

Although LaTeX handles mathematical typsetting with ease, there are some additional fonts and symbols which are useful in more mathematically-oriented documents. These are included in the AMS (American Mathematical Society) Math packages. The packages are amsmath, amsfonts, and amssymb. If you followed the instructions on installing MiKTeX previously, the required packages and fonts will already be installed on your system.

• A simple example of the capabilities of the AMS packages is amsmath.tex (output file).
