I'm struggling to learn TeX, and after grappling with my FM for
several days, I can't find the answer to a simple question.
I wish to display math formulae, as one does in display mode
in TeX ($$...$$), but I wish precise control over the position
of my formulae, as I get with math mode ($...$).  I want to
be able to list formulae left justified on a page, or in columns.
Any suggestions?
