### List of equations

Is there an easy way to create a list of equations? I have used to number my equations and would like to form a list of them in my front matter, similar to that created for list of figures or list of tables.....

any ideas?

Try the tocloft package; it lets you create new "Lists of ...".
Edit: spelling issues.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...

tocloft doesn't have an easy way to generate a list from an existing tag like {equation}

If you have any ideas on how to do that, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Are you sure? The following seems quite easy:


Edit: the code I posted is somehow "redundant"; there are easier versions. (I just took a portion of a more elaborate code that I wrote to test the suggestion I gave to GoldFinger820 in my first reply).

Thanks gmedina, this is great. It is simple and does just what I was looking for.

This may be a dumb question (I'm a complete newbie) but is there a way to get the formatting of the list of equations to be the same as the list of tables/list of figures. I'm using the \listoftables command and PdfLaTeX to build.

I've uploaded the my university's class file in case there is something starnge in there as well as a PDF of the relavant pages.

Thanks and happy 2012!

I am trying to use the code above for generating a list of equations, but i keep getting an error

! LaTeX Error: Command \myequations already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

These are the packages i use in my document:

Does anyone know what is the problem with my code?

With the memoir class, it is slightly different.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
