Is there a difference between defining an unnumbered equation with
Option 1:
\begin{equation*} ... \end{equation*}
versus
Option 2:
\[ ... \]
If there are differences, they are not apparent in my use of the commands.

amsmath,\[and\]are equivalent to\begin{equation*}and\end{equation*}. Inamsmath.dtxyou'll find\DeclareRobustCommand{\[}{\begin{equation*}} \DeclareRobustCommand{\]}{\end{equation*}}.\...{equation*}form as it's easier to get rid of the*if it's decided that the display really should have a number than to type in the larger change. otherwise, no functional difference.
