notationsmathbf
notationsmathbf is a LaTeX command used to render mathematical variables in boldface font. This command is particularly useful in mathematical and scientific contexts where bold symbols are often employed to distinguish vectors, matrices, or other specific mathematical entities from scalar quantities. When used within a LaTeX document's math mode, such as in $ \mathbf{v} $ or $ \mathbf{M} $, the output will display the letter within the braces in a bold typeface. This contrasts with the default upright or italicized font typically used for variables in mathematical typesetting. The use of boldface can help improve readability and clarity, especially in complex equations or when a large number of variables are present. The command requires the amsmath package to be loaded for proper functionality. It is a straightforward command, taking a single argument which is the symbol to be rendered in bold. For instance, `\mathbf{x}` will produce a bold 'x'. While often used for vectors, its application is not limited to them and can be used for any mathematical symbol where bold representation is desired.
