 The eqnarray environment is typically used to display a sequence of equations 
 or inequalities; it may also be used to manage spacing for long equations.   
 The <a href="lefteqn.html"><tt>\lefteqn</tt></a> command is useful in
 this environment for splitting long equations over several lines.
<p>
 It is very much like a three-column 
 <a href="ltx-202.html">array environment</a>, with position argument <tt>rcl</tt>,
 i.e., the columns are justified right, center, and left, respectively. 
 (However, <a href="ltx-268.html"><tt>\multicolumn</tt></a> may not be used.)
<p>
 Consecutive  rows are separated by <a href="ltx-181.html"><tt>\\</tt></a> 
 commands and consecutive  items within a
 row separated  by an <tt>&amp;</tt>. Any item may be empty, i.e., no text. 
<p>
 A separate equation number is placed  on every 
 line unless that line has a <tt>\nonumber</tt> command.
 The optional <tt>eqnarray*</tt> form does not generate any equation numbers.
<p>
 A <a href="ltx-252.html"><tt>\label</tt></a> command anywhere within a 
 row generates a reference to that row's number.
