| | Amsmath & 2 thing Hi,
1) I would like to use the amsmath package.
I am really having trouble with installing it.
What is the easiest way of doing it?
many other packages do I selfdownload, when required.
amsmath doesn't.
2) for example in the binomial distribution formula or pascalsches "dreieck", hope triangular is the english word, the you have this x over m or m under x. Hope you know what I mean.
What is correct latex expression? I have \over, which makes it a fraction.
That is, however, not what I mean
Thanks

| | amsmath Hi sts,
1) which operating system do you use (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, ...) and which TeX distribution (MiKTeX, TeX Live, ...)? Ways of installation could be different.
2) Without amsmath you could use \atop like Code: \left(x\atop m\right)
With amsmath you could write Stefan

[s.t.s:] The OS is windows XP and miktex is the latex version, I have got.

[s.t.s]: I will try. That will certainly look better than a fraction. Thanks
