(1) I am in section* mode in LyX. I am using (article) class. Everything seems fine except the font. It's all in bold. How can I undo this? I do not want bold font to be the default every time I am in a section* or subsection*.
Here's the source:
\begin{doublespace}
\section*{1. Introduction. {\normalsize{Let $\left\{ x:0\le x<1\right\} $
be the compact group of real numbers modulo 1. Any irrational element
$\theta$ in this set has a continued fraction representation
\begin{eqnarray*}
& \frac{1}{a_{1}+\frac{1}{a_{2}+\frac{1}{a_{3}+\frac{1}{\ddots}}}}
\end{eqnarray*}
(2) Is the default font style in (article) the same as (article ams)? If not, how can I use the font style in ams while using (article)? The reason I ask is because when I tried to convert the class to ams too many errors were preventing me from obtaining a PDF. Hence I plan on remaining in article.

Don't include too much in the argument of
\section
; here, only the wordIntroduction
seems to belong in sectioning header.Don't use
eqnarray
-- it's a badly deprecated command.Consider loading the
amsmath
package and using\cfrac
(instead of\frac
) to typeset continued fractions.Don't overuse
\left
and\right
.Not modified from your example code, but probably worth changing as well: Instead of
\section*{1. Introduction}
, you should almost certainly write\section{Introduction}
. By all means, let LaTeX keep track of things such as section numbers.Addendum: If you switch the document class from
article
toamsart
(but leave all other code unchanged), you'll get the following look:The main differences are: (i) the section header is centered and is set in small-caps and (ii) the first line of the paragraph following the sectioning header is indented (in the amount of
\parindent
).
