Here are you referring to:

$$f(x)=x^2-2x-3\qquad\text{and}\qquad g(x)=3x-4$$

And are you implying that this could interfere with the indenting  
scheme of Auctex?

OK, looked at this and found a -2 there. I imagine that changing this  
will increase the amount of indentation. But, I'm fine with the  
current amount of indentation.

Is the default behavior of the auctex indentation machine to indent  
all commands within a

\begin{something}
\end{something}

to the same column as the \ and all text two spaces to the right of  
the slash?
