# \bfseries for math mode (whole table row in bold)

I've got this neat little snippet from question Make first row of table all bold:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{$}{>{\global\let\currentrowstyle\relax}} \newcolumntype{^}{>{\currentrowstyle}} \newcommand{\rowstyle}[1]{\gdef\currentrowstyle{#1}% #1\ignorespaces } \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{$l^c^r}
\rowstyle{\bfseries}
a & a & a \\
b & b & b \\
c & c & c \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}


It works perfectly fine in text mode. However, if I've got a math mode in my table like in the following snippet, this won't work.

\begin{tabular}{$l^c^r} \rowstyle{\bfseries} a &$1.33*10^5$& a \\ b & b & b \\ c & c & c \\ \end{tabular}  The two a are bold, but the equation isn't bold. However if I'm using \begin{tabular}{$l^c^r}
\rowstyle{\bfseries}
a & \textbf{$1.33*10^5$} & a \\
b & b                    & b \\
c & c                    & c \\
\end{tabular}


the equation is rendered bold just perfectly. Do I need another command for this to work? I've trying to typeset one row with ~17 columns (12 math mode) bold in about 20 tables. I would really like not to put every equation in a \textbf.

Using

\begin{tabular}{$l^c^r} \rowstyle{\textbf} a &$1.33*10^5$& a \\ b & b & b \\ c & c & c \\ \end{tabular}  Ends in an error You can't use a prefix with \aftergroup' in the next line. ## 1 Answer That was quick, I am a dimwit. The solution is to add \boldmath: \begin{tabular}{$l^c^r}
\rowstyle{\boldmath\textbf}
a & $1.33*10^5$ & a \\
b & b           & b \\
c & c           & c \\
\end{tabular}
