Math & Science ⇒ how to left justify equations

[mikkelstuff]

Somewhere I read how to position equations next to the left margin, rather than centered on the page, with align* but I can't seem to find it. Anyone else remember how? Thanks

Hi,

use the fleqn option for the amsmath package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath}

and control the indentation by setting \mathindent. This will affect all the equations. If the left algnment must affect only certain equations, then you'll have to use the fleqn environment provided by the nccmath package.

That's it gmedina! Many thanks.
