I have a document I am trying to copy to learn TeX. Here is what I have encountered: How can I have the "or" in the equation. This is what I have right now:

[ f = ma; ] 

But $a$ is the change in velocity,



[ f = m frac{dv}{dt};]

[ f = m  frac{d^2y}{dt^2};]

Use the amsmath package and the commands text{...} for text in the formula or intertext{...} for text between the lines of multi-line formulas. For example:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath}

begin{document}

begin{align*}

  f &= ma;\ intertext{But $a$ is the change in velocity} 

  f &= m frac{dv}{dt};\ intertext{or} 

  f &= m  frac{d^2y}{dt^2};

end{align*}

end{document}

One advantage of align* to [ ... ] is that you can align the equations on relation symbols.

If you wish to put or in the same line, you could use text and flalign* :

documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath}

begin{document}

begin{flalign*}

  && f &= ma;&\ text{or} && f &= m frac{dv}{dt};&\ text{or}  &&f &= m  frac{d^2y}{dt^2};

end{flalign*}

end{document}

  & is used both for specifying the alignment position and as column separator, alternating. In columns of formulas, &= means that at = would be aligned, a following & would end the column, like in a table. && has been used to skip a column, i.e. to create an empty column.
