\boldmath must be used outside of math

that is the default

set it correct. See example

Problem 1: Using boldface in math mode.
The problem: I want the math symbol $\symbf{B_{3}}$ to be in boldface in
math mode with $B$ not
upright. Both B and its subscript 3 should be in boldface.
This is the original in plain math.
$B_3\big(s,a,(a+4)/3\big)$
\verb"$B_3\big(s,a,(a+4)/3\big)$"
\boldmath${B_3}\big(s,a,(a+4)/3\big)$
\verb"\boldmath${B_3}\big(s,a,(a+4)/3\big)$"
Typeface issues.
Problem 2: The emphasis and italic typeface commands produce identical
output.
Examples follow.
These illustrate the issue with \verb"\emph".
\emph{Emphasis}, \textit{\emph{Emphasis} in italic mode}
\textit{Italic}, \emph{\textit{Italic} in emphasis mode}
$\mathcal{MathCal, MATHCAL}$
$\mathcal{A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M}$
$\mathcal{N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z}$
