      In AMS-LaTeX,

$ 1 + \dots + 5 $	% like \cdots if followed by +

$ 1, \dots, 5 $		% like \dots if followed by ,

Personally, I have never trusted this, so I always use $\ldots$ or 
$\cdots$ as I see fit, but using $\dots$ is probably better (when using 
amsmath) than using either one of these automatically.
