Abstract

The isomath package enables formatting Greek and Latin letters as symbols for vectors, matrices, and tensors in the typefaces recommended for scientific papers by the International Standard ISO 31. For this, a bold italic and a sans-serif bold italic math alphabet are defined.

The bidirectional text <-> code converter PyLit can convert between isomath.sty and isomath.sty.txt.

The Python Docutils and pdflatex were used to generate the HTML and PDF documentation.

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

Usage Example

Use cmbright for the sans-serif math alphabets and redefine the \vec macro to typeset its argument in bold italic:

\usepackage[sfdefault=cmbr]{isomath}
\renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym}

More examples and usage hints are in the documentation files.
