1. Each table should have a table number and a descriptive title placed above the table. Short
tables should be paced within the text as near as possible to where they are needed, and
not put on a separate page. If possible, two short tables can be put on the same page.
Large tables may need to go on a separate page. Table pages should be numbered and
should appear as soon as is convenient after the table is first mentioned in the text.
2. Each figure should have a figure number and a descriptive title, placed below the figure.
Figures appearing within the body of your report should be consecutively numbered, and
should appear as soon as is convenient after the figure is first mentioned.
3. Equations should be centered in their own lines and they must be numbered. Variables
used in the equations should be explained or defined. They should appear as soon as is
convenient after they are first mentioned.
