# Capital Sigma in bold mathrm

I want to write capital \Sigma in bold mathrm. I tried \boldsymbol{\mathrm{\Sigma}} but seems like this does not work. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks

If not obsolete now (there might be new ways for this), the bm package is your friend :) Use as \bm{\Sigma}. – percusse Nov 30 '11 at 3:56
What do you mean it does not seem to work? – Werner Nov 30 '11 at 4:05
@perusse: Thanks for your comment. \bm{\Sigma} is what I was looking for. Would you mind to include your comment as answer? Thanks – MYaseen208 Nov 30 '11 at 4:14
Look at the difference in the formatting of \Sigma in the following: \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amsmath}\begin{document}$\Sigma~\boldmath{\S‌​igma}~\boldmath{\mathrm{\Sigma}}$\end{document} If this still produces the incorrect formatting of \Sigma, then you need to update your distribution; at least your AMS LaTeX bundle. – Werner Nov 30 '11 at 4:37
since you're using amsmath, you don't have to load amsbsy -- it's loaded automatically by amsmath. also, the default \Sigma is upright, so \mathrm doesn't do anything (unless perhaps you're loading a package that changes the style to sloped, but i didn't see such a package in your list). finally, \boldmath has to be loaded outside of math mode, and a warning is emitted if it's found inside. so the "best" solution (with amsmath) is simply \boldsymbol{\Sigma}. – barbara beeton Nov 30 '11 at 14:01
