Selective numbering of equations with align
Just add \notag
to the lines you don't want numbered.
But if you are using fleqn
, you don't need align
, you can use gather
instead (the \notag
works the same) and remove the &
s:
\documentclass[a5paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\begin{document}
\begin{gather}
R_{i,t} = \alpha_i \notag \\
R_{i,t} = \beta_i \notag \\
R_{i,t} = \gamma_i \notag \\
\mathbb{E}[\epsilon_{it}]=0;\textrm{ } \textrm{Var}[\epsilon_{it}]=\sigma^2_{\epsilon_{i}}\\
i \in \{1,2,...,N\};\textrm{ } t \in \{1,2,...,T\}
\end{gather}
\end{document}
(You probably wanted the other lines numbered).
Rather than choosing which rows to enumerate you could let mathtools
enumerate only the equations you reference.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\mathtoolsset{showonlyrefs}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
a = b \\
b = c \label{eq:unused} \\
c = d \label{eq:used} % Only this row will be enumerated as it's the
% only row that is referenced to.
\end{align}
Here I will make a reference to the eq:used label \eqref{eq:used}
% Be sure to use \eqref and not \ref instead.
\end{document}
This answer was first given by https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5701/n-n in a duplicated question. I think this solution is very elegant and very useful. Why would you want to enumerate unused stuff?
