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.
