Math Font Used in Textbooks: Larson's Calculus

[SrVishi]

Sorry if this is a random/ out of place question, but I was wondering if you know what math font is used in textbooks like "Calulculus of a Single Variable" by Larson and other similar books. I like that font very much and hope to use it for papers, etc but I can't find precisely which one it is.

Is it just LaTeX?

I do not know the book, but I do know that there are font identifiers online. You can try those out.

From the preview on Amazon, I would say that the font used is Times.

When you say "Times" do you mean Times New Roman (didn't know they had a math font)? Or MathTime? Thank you very much for your response!

Times is a font family that is widely available, of which Times New Roman is a small variation. Special mathematical symbols can differ from one implementation to the next, but they usually are quite consistent.

If you use LaTeX, there are packages that implement a similar font, such as Nimbus Roman.
