Please try this:

 \begin{equation*}
  \begin{split}
    A(u,v) 
     & = \sum\limits_E\int_\Omega(\nabla u)\cdot(\nabla v) 
         -\sum\limits_{\Gamma_{\text{int}}}\int_\Gamma 
         \langle\nabla u\rangle n\cdot [v]
	 +\epsilon\sum\int_\Gamma\langle\nabla v\rangle n\cdot [u]\\
     &\quad-\sum\int_{{\Gamma}_{D}}\nabla u~n\cdot v
       +\epsilon\sum\int_{\Gamma_{D}}\nabla v~n\cdot u\\
    B(u,q) 
     & = -\sum\int_\Omega q\nabla \cdot u
	 +\sum\int_\Gamma\langle q\rangle [u]\cdot n\\
    B(v,p) 
     & = - \sum\int_\Omega p\nabla\cdot v
	 + \sum\int_\Omega\langle p\rangle[v]\cdot n\\
    J(u,v) 
     & = \sum\frac{\sigma_e}{|{e}|}\int_\Gamma [u] \cdot [v]
  \end{split}
\end{equation*}


Please read the documentation for the amsmath package (available as 
amsldoc.dvi) with standard TeX distributions, which contains many such 
examples.
