isomath ******* Mathematical style for science and technology ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :Author: Günter Milde :Date: 2012-09-10 :Copyright: © 2008, 2012 Günter Milde :Licence: This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the `LaTeX Project Public License`_, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. :Abstract: The `isomath` package provides tools for a mathematical style that conforms to the International Standard ISO 80000-2 and is common in science and technology. It changes the default shape of capital Greek letters to italic, sets up bold italic and sans-serif bold italic math alphabets with Latin and Greek characters, and defines macros for markup of vector, matrix and tensor symbols.

The Docutils_ and pdflatex were used to generate the HTML and PDF documentation from the reStructuredText_ sources. Requirements ============ This package builds on and extends fixmath_ by Walter Schmidt. It also requires kvoptions_. The cmbright_ package is recommended for *sans-serif italic* and *sans-serif bold italic* fonts matching with Computer Modern and derivatives. All required packages are part of TeXLive and MikTeX. Installation ============ If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation manager. Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the file `isomath.sty`: * Download and unpack `isomath.zip` or just download `isomath.sty`. * Copy/Move/Link ``isomath.sty`` to a suitable place in the TDS_ and run ``texhash``, or place it in the current working directory (e.g. for testing). Usage ===== Load the package and (optionally) change the default ``\vec`` macro with:: \usepackage{isomath} \renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym} % optional Option description, more examples and usage hints are in the `user documentation`_. ..
