TeX Resources Home Page

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers access to a family of TeX-related products for the convenience of authors and MathSci searchers.


American Mathematical Society TeX Products

For the convenience of authors, the AMS supports a family of TeX-related style file collections, fonts, manuals, and author packages for preparing submissions to AMS publications.
  • Three collections provide basic support for preparation of mathematical publications. Each collection includes a user's guide.
    These three collections are packaged for convenient retrieval by users of several different platforms:
  • Some additional LaTeX utilities are not part of the above collections:
    • amsrefs -- control bibliography style through LaTeX rather than BibTeX
    • snapshot -- create a list of external dependencies for a LaTeX document

Author packages

  • Author packages based on AMS-LaTeX and AMS-TeX, and tailored to specific AMS books or journals, are available for most AMS publications.
  • A template showing the basic requirements for the page layout, for all standard-format books, is available as a A good way to use the template is to copy it onto a clear transparency for use as an overlay on the formatted output.
    This template is designed particularly for authors who are not using TeX.
  • Frequently asked questions are addressed in the AMS Author FAQ.

Tools for Reference Checking and Linking

  • Authors can access the MR Database to verify and create references that can link to MathSciNet items and original sources.
  • MRef is the free AMS tool for creating standard references with links to MathSciNet.
    • Input is unfielded, meaning that no special input format is required, beyond entering the author name(s) first.
    • Punctuation and formatting (e.g., TeX and HTML) is ignored.
    • MRef returns formatted bibliographic data together with active links to MathSciNet.
    • The formats include MathSciNet, BibTeX, and AMSRefs.
  • MR Lookup is another free tool for referencing and linking available from the AMS.

Computer Modern and AMSFonts in PostScript Outline Form

Type 1 (PostScript outline) versions are available for general use:
  • all the original Computer Modern fonts
  • selected sizes of the Euler and extra symbols from the AMSFonts

These versions were created by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y.
