Math & Science ⇒ Template for specific math book

[vejn]

Can someone send me or give link for latex templates for books like

http://books.google.hr/books?id=TtKyqoz ... CEgQ6AEwAw

I like this style very much but dont know how to write it.

Welcome to the board.

Not to be rude but this is not a "do it for me" forum; I an sure you will get help if you show some initiative yourself.

If everything else fails, you can try to contact AMS and ask if they can help you. (A good guess would be to ask Barbara Beeton in this case.)

Oh, I had written a "small book" in this format
But I would like to see this specific math textbook template.
I know enough to write in latex. I would like to see some template just to learn some faster/better/optimized way. Book in link is written professionaly.

Did you test it? This cannot work because you load several packages twice with different options. Decide, if to use XeTeX or pdfTeX, or let the packages automatically detect which normally works fine.

The book you mentioned has been published by the AMS, so I would use the class and styles they provide, such as amsbook, amsproc or amsart. Perhaps have a look at the AMS-LaTeX page.

Thx for this amsbook and amsart.
Could you provide link for other professional and nice looking templates ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Have a look at www.latextemplates.com.

Wooow! This code is a mess. As Stefan said, have you actually tried to compile it yourself?

As a starter, to make the code somewhat more readable, you can use

and so forth. Then you can write, e.g., \setN for the set of natural numbers.

Yes. I had to put in same folder other .tex files which were needed.
But I like more one .tex file for book which does not read other .tex.

Thx for this. I'm reading latex tutorial script but I would like to see how is done better way and article/book templates and the best for this.
Stefan K,
on http://www.latextemplates.com there are book/thesis templates but main.tex needs other thesis.cls, .sty, Bibliography.bib ... files.
Is this "dress code" when creating books/articles ?
Why there is not one single .tex ?

LaTeX is a modular system. This has many advantages, for example you can seperate functionality, it can be better maintained, code can be reused. LaTeX, classes and packages are developed and maintained by hundreds or even more than a thousand authors. Authors usually maintain one or several packages, so it's good to have them seperate.

As an author, you can chose between dozens of classes and many hundreds of package. Just specify which to use by a command.

Would you really like to have a single .tex file, where a class, packages, bibliography etc. are integrated? What if you decide to change the class or packages?

In case you are not convinced yet, the best way to learn what is better: try working with one big file. Copy class and package codes into the file, and work with this document. It would be great if you would tell us your personal opinion then.

As Stefan said, large chunks of code becomes (almost infinitely) clearer when it is devided into different parts. Furthermore, bibliographies, e.g., are created using BibTeX which is a separate program.
