8.5 displaymath

Synopsis:

     \begin{displaymath}
     math
     \end{displaymath}

or

     \[math\]

The displaymath environment (\[...\] is a synonym) typesets the math text on its own line, centered by default. The global fleqn option makes equations flush left; see Document class options.

No equation number is added to displaymath text; to get an equation number, use the equation environment (see equation).
