LaTeX LaTeX: Quick Question on Aligning Equations

AI Thread Summary
Using LaTeX's "\begin{align}" and "\end{align}" commands aligns equations at the "=" signs, but does not center them on the page. The "\begin{eqnarray}" command yields similar results, maintaining alignment at the "=" signs without centering. The AMSmath package provides various options for alignment, which can address most formatting needs. For detailed guidance, users are directed to the AMSmath documentation. Proper utilization of these environments can enhance equation presentation in LaTeX.

Hi guys, I'm totally new to latex and I'm loving it so far :) Quick question: when I use "\begin{align}" & "\end{align}" for a system of equations, I get them all aligned up at the "=" signs (assuming I place a "&" in front of them). Is there a way to get them all aligned vertically at the center of the page? Thanks.

had you tried
Code:
\begin{eqnarray} 
... & = & ... \\
... & = & ... 
\end{eqnarray}
?

I just tried it. It does the same thing as {align}. They're aligned about the "=" signs but the "=" signs aren't centered. Thanks anyways.
 
I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but the AMSmath align environment has more than enough options to solve most alignment problems. See ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/amsldoc.pdf Section 3.
