math mode bold and non-italic. I achieve boldness with \boldsymbol, how
do i get rid of the italics?

no --- mathbf is for bold text. you may want to read the section
"Setting bold Greek letters in LaTeX" of the FAQ list, under the URL
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek .

"you" refers to the OP, not to mr. madsen (that has the faq list url
in his .sig, btw :-)

A shot in the dark, but perhaps you need something like the upgreek
package,then use \boldsymbol. On my system, you can see a difference
(not great, but better than nothing).

Nope, it still looks italic on my system...

Are you sure you did the right thing? The following produces a regular
and an upright bold theta for me.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,upgreek}
\begin{document}
$\theta \boldsymbol\uptheta$
\end{document}

That's also what I tried (and got to work). I'm using MikTeX 2.5 on
WinXP.

The upgreek package doesn't automatically make upright Greek letters;
you have to specify them with \upalpha, \upbeta, etc. The following
works for me:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{upgreek,bm}
\begin{document}
$\boldsymbol{\upalpha}\neq\boldsymbol{\alpha}\neq\alpha\neq\upalpha$
\end{document}

\mathbf{\hat{r}} &= \boldsymbol{\hat{\imath}} \cos{\theta} +
\mbox{\boldmath$\hat{\jmath}$} \sin{\theta}\\
, so it's the \boldsymbol{\hat{\imath}} I want upright... there doesn't
seem to be an \upjmath in upgreek....

You'll need to do this outside of math mode. So \textbf{\^\i} and
\textbf{\^\j} should work.

you're using the wrong font, aren't you? knuth provides italic maths
fonts, but not upright fonts.
so either you need to acquire a tex-oriented maths font that does
upright (iirc, mathtime meets that requirement) or you need to switch
systems.
none of these "upright" packages is likely to work for the whole job,
simply because the glyphs aren't available. so you're going to
struggle all the way.
good luck.

I think an alternative in this case might be to use the packages
"eulervm" and "bm", if what the OP wants is to have _all_ math stuff
in an upright font. Maybe this should be accompanied by the use of a
different text font, like palatino (I remember Walter Schmidt's site
has advice about suitable text-math font combinations).
