AMS-LaTeX is a collection of
LaTeX document classes and packages developed for the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Its additions to LaTeX include the typesetting of multi-line and other mathematical statements, document classes, and fonts containing numerous mathematical symbols. [cite book

It has largely superseded theplain TeX macro package
AMS-TeX. AMS-TeX was originally written by Michael Spivak, and was used by the AMS from 1983 to 1985.

The following code of theLaTeX2e produces the AMS-LaTeX logo$mathcal\{A\}!\_\{displaystyle\; mathcal\{M\; !mathcal\{S\}\; !!;\; extrm\{-\}\; mathrm\{L!!^$}_{scriptstyle A !!!!!;; T!_{displaystyle E} ! X}.

One of the most important features of the package is the ability to control the formatting of multi-line equations. For example, the followingcode,

egin{align} y &= (x+1)^2 \ &= x^2+2x+1 end{align}

causes the equals signs in the two lines to be aligned with one another, like this:
