Abstract

The isomath package provides tools for a mathematical style that conforms to the International Standard ISO 80000-2 and is common in science and technology: capital Greek letters in italic shape, bold italic and sans-serif bold italic math alphabets with Latin and Greek characters, and macros for markup of vector, matrix and tensor symbols.

The bidirectional text <-> code converter PyLit can convert between `isomath.sty` and `isomath.sty.txt`.

The Docutils and pdflatex were used to generate the HTML and PDF documentation from the reStructuredText sources.

# Requirements

This package builds on and extends fixmath by Walter Schmidt. It also requires kvoptions.

The cmbright package is recommended for sans-serif italic and sans-serif bold italic fonts matching with Computer Modern and derivatives.

All required packages are part of TeXLive and MikTeX.

# Installation

If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation manager.

Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the file isomath.sty:

- Download and unpack isomath.zip or just download isomath.sty.

- Copy/Move/Link `isomath.sty` to a suitable place in the TDS and run `texhash`, or place it in the current working directory (e.g. for testing).

# Usage

Load the package and (optionally) change the default `\vec` macro with:

    \usepackage{isomath}
    \renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym}  % optional

Option description, more examples and usage hints are in the user documentation.
