But even if you find some english reference, add the german references, too.

Under Linux I find ... (otherwise google...)

/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/amsmath/*.dvi.gz

amsldoc.dvi and testmath.dvi should give you quite a lot of examples of 
how to do advanced stuff.

You don't usually have to care much about fonts in LaTeX, the symbols, 
however, you find, for example at the end of

/usr/share/texmf/doc/amstex/amsguide.dvi.gz

(But don't consider much the other stuff, since it describes AMS-TeX not 
AMS-LaTeX.)

If you then still have problems ask again.
