Equation Alignment to left Margin of the Page

Post by faiube »

Hi all,

I know how to align equations. But all appears in the center of the page.
How could I align to the left margin of the page?

Thanks a lot.
Fernando

Hi Fernando,

welcome to the board!

Use the fleqn class option, which means "flushed left equations", such as

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fleqn]{article}

Hi Stefan,

What if this alignment is only for one page of the entire document (book)?

Thanks for your help,
Fernando

Hi Fernando,

in that case I would use a flalign environment of the amsmath package. Left justification can be achived by putting & symbols to the right of the rows.
