[Tex/LaTex] Short documents

document-classestitles

I need to write a short informal note-type document with a description of my new idea and a few equations – 2 pages max. I use the article document class, but it seems to be an overkill – the title and author take 1/3 of the first page, etc. Could someone recommend a more suitable document type?

Try amsart or define the title yourself:

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\large Title of this document

\normalsize A. U. Thor
\end{center}

\vspace{3\baselineskip}

Here starts the text.
