AMS-LaTeX version 2 (amslatex.zip)
This archive will unpack into an existing TEXMF structure,
in most cases providing a ready-to-use installation.
What is AMS-LaTeX?
The software distributed under the name "AMS-LaTeX" consists
of various extensions for LaTeX. AMS-LaTeX is part of the standard
LaTeX distribution, and is also mirrored on CTAN.
The distribution is divided into two parts:
- The amscls part contains AMS "document class" files
and a theorem package that can be used independently. These
provide the setup necessary to give a LaTeX document the
general structure and appearance of an AMS article or book.
- The amsmath part is an extension package for LaTeX
that provides various features to facilitate writing math
formulas and to improve the typographical quality of their
output.
Prerequisites
- A working TeX system
TeX is not an AMS product. See the AMS
TeX Resources page for sources.
- A current working LaTeX system, dated June 1995 or later
LaTeX is not an AMS product. See the LaTeX
Project home page for information if you do not already
have LaTeX.
Documentation for AMS-LaTeX version 2

AMS-LaTeX collection.
- Installation instructions for AMS-LaTeX 2.0 (copy of install.txt
contained in the zip file)
- amsmath (math features):

Additional Documentation
- Short Math Guide for LaTeX
This guide is a concise summary of the essential features
in LaTeX for writing math formulas , including features
provided by the packages amssymb and amsmath .
This is not a mere listing of everything available but
a careful selection of the LaTeX commands that are especially
recommended for authors' use. There is also some discussion
of certain common uses and misuses of various commands
that are better avoided for reasons of typographical quality
or logical markup.
Old Versions of AMS-LaTeX
Version 1.2
This version is provided, unsupported, for use only when
exact output fidelity is needed for a pre-existing document
that was written using version 1.2 of AMS-LaTeX.
Most AMS-LaTeX documents written with version 1.2 will produce
satisfactory output when typeset with version 2.0. The most
noticeable effect of upgrading will probably be corrections
in the vertical spacing for some equations.
