Appendix: A

To start appendixes, you should use the command \appendix, followed by the command \section{}. Please note the equation numbers in an appendix: Note that the letters and numbers switch places and functions in the appendix.

Tables must begin with a \verb+"\begin{table}"+ command.
this starts the table environment, which may contain several
tables. A \verb+"\begin{tabular}{}"+ is used to start the actual table.
\verb+"\end{tabular}"+ and \verb+"\end{table}+ are used to
end the table and the table environment.

The command \btt{caption\{Your Caption\}} is used to create a caption
for a table. It should be used just prior to the \btt{begin\{tabular\}\{\}}
command.

The second set of braces following \{tabular\} must contain
information to indicate the number of columns and the type of justification
you wish to use.  The information is conveyed by letters. Each letter
within the braces indicates one column in the table.  The value of the
letter indicates the kind of justification.

Some examples include c for centered, l for left justification,
r for right justification, and d for decimal, where numbers will
be lined up according to their decimal points.

\acknowledgments

 For the Acknowledgments section  use the command
\verb+\acknowledgments+ to produce the heading.  The section number
will not appear.

If you want to suppress section numbers (as in the Acknowledgments
section), the command \btt{section*\{\}} can be used. This has already
been done by the
\verb+\acknowledgments+ macro, so the \btt{section*\{\}} command is not
needed in this case.

\appendix
\section{}

To start appendixes, you should use the command
\verb+\appendix+, followed by the command \verb+\section{}+.
Please note the equation numbers in an appendix:  Note that the
letters and numbers switch places and functions in the appendix.
\begin{eqnarray}
{\rm P} = mc, \\ 
{\rm E} = mc^2.
\end{eqnarray}
Either the begin{eqnarray} (as above) or the begin{equation} (as below) command may be used to start the equations, in the appendix. The appropriate ending command must also be given, of course.
