General ⇒ List of equations

[Goldfinger820]

Is there an easy way to create a list of equations? I have used \begin{equation} 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.

[braverock]

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.

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

Are you sure? The following seems quite easy:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\begin{document}
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{List of Equations}
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{%
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}

\listofmyequations

\begin{equation}\label{eq:Eq1}
   a=b
\end{equation}
\myequations{Equation number \ref{eq:Eq1}}

\newpage

\begin{equation}\label{eq:Eq2}
   b=c
\end{equation}
\myequations{Equation number \ref{eq:Eq2}}

\end{document}

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:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oldfontcommands,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{placeins}
\usepackage[]{mcode}
\usepackage{comment}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

%following with the code

\usepackage{tocloft}
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{List of Equations}
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents*
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\listofmyequations 
.....

Does anyone know what is the problem with my code?

With the memoir class, it is slightly different.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{List of Equations}
\newlistof{listofequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequation}[1]{%
	\addcontentsline{equ}{equation}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par
}
\makeatletter
\let\l@equation\l@figure
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents*
\listofequations
\clearpage
\blindtext
\begin{equation}\label{eq:Eq1}
	a=b
\end{equation}
\myequation{A equals B \ref{eq:Eq1}}

\clearpage

\begin{equation}\label{eq:Eq2}
	b=c
\end{equation}
\myequation{C equals B \ref{eq:Eq2}}

\end{document}

Thank you, Johannes_B! It works!
