See install.txt for installation instructions. The document classes amsart, amsbook, amsproc and related packages are provided by the American Mathematical Society for authors to use with LaTeX. They produce the overall layout and appearance of AMS publications. In order to use an AMS document class you need to have TeX software installed first. TeX is not an AMS product. If you need information on getting TeX see one of the following: http://www.tug.org/ http://www.ams.org/tex/tex-resources.html Documentation for the AMS document classes is found in instr-l.pdf diffs-c.txt amsthdoc.pdf thmtest.tex thmtest.pdf which are included in the collection. Additional documentation can be found in the amsclass FAQ: http://www.ams.org/tex/amsclass-faq.html The recommended procedure for making a custom document class based on an AMS class is to make a copy of the relevant .cls file using a different name and edit the copy---e.g., copy amsbook.cls to mybook.cls. (In general we advise against using \LoadClass, unless the base class is frozen or changes to the base class are under your control.) ======================================================================== RECENT CHANGES ---amsthdoc.tex 2.20.2 2015/04/10 Completely rewritten, adding examples, workarounds, and notes on interaction with other packages and document classes. ---amsclass.dtx 2.20.2 2015/03/10 Patched definition of \[ for compatibility with the fixltx2e package and post-2014 versions of the LaTeX kernel.
