Math & Science ⇒ mathptmx, ulem | Wave not showing up

[CoolnessItself]

Hi all,

I'm writing for springer, and they ask for equation/eqnarray instead of the more modern packages, so please forgive my use of equation. Also, they ask for mathptmx, which is the source of my troubles here

while the same thing without the comment on mathptmx gives

Untitled1.png (1.75 KiB) Viewed 6006 times

The font change is obviously intentional, but the uwave is missing!

I can't modify mathptmx nor uwave, since I must submit a tex file for press. Is it possible to change the behavior of uwave{v} in mathptmx mode without modifying either file?

Hi,

I'm writing for springer, and they ask for equation/eqnarray instead of the more modern packages, so please forgive my use of equation.

can you please tell us what Springer exactly said? I cannot believe that they would recommend to use eqnarray. The equation environment on the other hand is ok. Don's confuse one with the other.

Furthermore, which more modern packages does Springer reject?

For example, the first solution which comes to my mind is using \underset from the amsmath package with a tilde, this could be sufficient if you just need a wave below single characters.

Use the standard \verb|equation| environment to typeset your equations, e.g.
%
\begin{equation}
a \times b = c\;,
\end{equation}
%
however, for multiline equations we recommend to use the \verb|eqnarray| environment\footnote{In physics texts please activate the class option \texttt{vecphys} to depict your vectors in \textbf{\itshape boldface-italic} type - as is customary for a wide range of physical subjects}.
\begin{eqnarray}
a \times b = c \nonumber\\
\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\vec{c}
\label{eq:01}
\end{eqnarray}

Rereding it, I guess it's not mandated.

Thanks for the underset tip

Where can I find this author.tex file on the Springer page?
Edit: just found one here : Book Manuscript Guidelines, it comes with the svmult class.
