Math & Science ⇒ AMSMath Vector Style

[Ashiataka]

I'm using the AMSMath package for a large physics document I'm writing. For my vectors I'm writing them as \vec{F} for example. This displays them with a nice arrow over their head, which whilst is a good way to write them, isn't ideal for typesetting (emboldening vectors makes them easier to spot I think).

Is there a setting that can be changed in the preamble to change the way the vectors are rendered? I can't seem to find one.

Thank you.

You could define your own macro, or redefine the original \vec macro, such as:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\vec}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}

With \let\vec\mathbf there is a short version of Stefan's proposal.
