\usepackage{amsmath} of the following sections:
\parindent=0in I A preamble, which
\author{A. Student} includes parameters,
\date{Febtober 15, 2022} packages, and specifies
\title{A Proof of the Riemann what kind of a document
Hypothesis} it is
\begin{document} I The document itself,
\maketitle which contains the

Structure of LATEX Commands

Before we continue, you may have noticed (or not)...

I LATEX commands take on one of two forms (well, at least most
of them)
I Commands of the form \command[parameter]{command}.
These commands are called inline commands.
I Examples:
I \usepackage{package}.
I \documentclass[a4]{document class}.
I Commands of the form \begin{environment} and
\end{environment}. These commands are called
environment commands.
I Examples:
I \begin{document} and \end{document}
I \begin{center} and \end{center}
