This document provides guidelines for formatting equations, tables, and figures in technical documents. It states that equations should be indented from the text with the number on the right side. Tables contain information that can be compared side by side and have headings in bold font larger than the text. Figures can contain photos, charts, or drawings and should be centered with a bold, larger title and include specific identifying information.

- 2. Equations Equations are typically formatted with the equation indented from the text and the equation number posted to the right.
- 3. Equations If your document does not have a nomenclature , you should present a list which matches the variables to their names and units. If you paper contains a nomenclature, it is not necessary to provide the names and units of the variables in an equation.
- 4. Tables Are used as a means to quickly compare information side-by-side. Tables have a heading which precedes the table, usually in a font that is bold and larger than the text of the table. The headings of the table should be bold and contain information about the units for the data.
- 5. Figures Figures can contain many different types of visual information. Typically figures contain either: Photographs Charts or data plots Drawings or schematics
- 6. Figures The text in the figure appears after the subject of the figure. The font of the figure title should be bold and larger than the font of the document text. The figure and title should be centered across the page or column of text. When referring to the figure in the text, one may use one of the following formats (i.e. do not mix and match Fig. and Figure formats in the same document)
- 7. Figures Certain information must appear on each figure: a) Title b) Coordinate names c) Scale markings d) Authors initials (or name) and date The title must be sufficiently complete and descriptive to identify the content of the figure without ambiguity. Do not use abbreviations in titles of figures.
