SUMMARY

The discussion centers on customizing equation numbering in LaTeX, specifically using TexShop v2.37 on macOS. The user initially experiences left-aligned equation numbers due to the default settings of the amsart document class. To align equation numbers on the right side, the user must include the 'reqno' option in the document class declaration: \documentclass[reqno, 12pt]{amsart}. This adjustment effectively changes the positioning of equation labels to the right side, which is the standard for most users.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document classes, specifically amsart.
  • Basic understanding of LaTeX packages, such as geometry and mathtools.
  • Knowledge of LaTeX syntax for typesetting equations.
  • Experience using TexShop or similar LaTeX editors.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the amsart document class options for further customization.
  • Learn about other LaTeX document classes and their default settings.
  • Explore the geometry package for advanced page layout configurations.
  • Investigate additional LaTeX packages that enhance mathematical typesetting.
USEFUL FOR

LaTeX users, academic writers, and researchers who need to format equations correctly in their documents, particularly those using TexShop and the amsart class.

Hi all,

When I typeset equations with automatic labeling, the labels (numbers) appear on the left side of the page. I want them on the right side -- where they seem to go by default for everyone else. I'm using TexShop v2.37 for mac.

Is there a problem with my template?
I'm using:
\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\geometry{letterpaper}

Then I'll have something like \begin{equation} a=b \end{equation}

How can one customize which side of the page equation numbers appear on?

Thanks in advance!

Code: 
\documentclass[reqno, 12pt]{amsart}
amsart defaults to left equation numbering, so use the reqno option.
