+isomath: Math for scientists

+ (v. 2 or later)
+: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
+============
+
+* Unpack isomath.zip (preferabely in a TDS documentation folder).
+
+* Make sure LaTeX can find isomath.sty:
+
+ + Copy/Move it to a suitable place in the TDS and run texhash,
+ + or place it in the current working directory (e.g. for testing).
+
+
+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 literate source and documentation
+files.
