simple question - want to put 'un-numered' equations in document

| Hi
I write a lot of equations, but I do not want to number each one of
them. Equation* is not working, and I dont want to use $ $, as they
give a little clumsy looking equations.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ayesha

Do you have a basic LaTeX manual? The book by Lamport is good, as is
the "Not so short introduction to LaTeX" PDF file that you can find by a
Google search on the title, but any introductory LaTeX book should cover
this in the first few paragraphs on equations. If you do have one, and
didn't find the answer there, could you mention what manuals you looked
in and where you looked? It would be useful to know in order to do a
better job of writing documentation in the future.
In any case, the standard-LaTeX solution is to use the displaymath
environment rather than the equation environment; enclose the equations
in \begin{displaymath} ... \end{displaymath}. Or, alternately, you can
enclose them in \[ ... \], which is a shorthand version of the same thing.
If you use the "amsmath" package, then \begin{equation*} ...
\end{equation*} will also work.

HOW is "Equation*" not working? I use amsmath all the time for my
mathematically oriented writings, so I don't remember if the starred
equation environment is specific of it or also available as of LaTeX
itself. Whatever, I recommend you to do so too, and use the starred
environments, or \notag (in multi-equation environments) as
appropriate. $ $ is for inline math, which is another thing.

No, no, it was programmed in Forth. See Genesis 1:12:
"And the earth brought Forth ..."
