x = vt. (1)
If the equation length prevents the inclusion of the equation number on the same row, then the
equation number should be placed on the next row at the right side of the double column:
Separate symbols and variables from the arithmetic operators with the use of the Space key:
x + C 2 = 0. (3)
Inclusions of commas, semicolons, or dots should take place as a part of the sentence:
Equations that cannot easily split into rows may occasionally span both columns:
h 2 j m ,n 2 mj , n 2 mj ,n
2 j
[ w yy + w j
+ 2 w j
] = ( E mj ,n U eff ) mj ,n . (6)
( y ) ( z ) y z
j 2 zz j 2 yz j j

( x a) n
f ( x) = f ( n)
(a) , (7)
n=0 n!
instead of
( x a) 2 ( x a) 3 ( x a) n ( n )
f ( x) = f (a) + f (1)
(a )( x a) + f ( 2)
(a) + f ( 3)
(a ) + ... + f (a) + ... (8)
2! 3! n!

The proper inclusion of brackets, {}, [], (), improves the readability of long analytical expressions:
The compact form is quite useful for short analytical expressions and equations embedded in the
text. In this case, do not use equation numbers:
The symbols in each equation should be defined in advance or immediately following the
appearance of the equation:
The following writing styles assist the visual interpretation of the mathematical content:
- text: Throughput, Latency,
- italic: x, y, z, (variables)
- bold: k, l, m,, (vectors, matrices) or
- Greek: , , ,, etc.
Use italic style to represent the variables (x, y, z,) in the equations. Note that the various
coefficients (A, B, C,) are written in italic style as well. However, numerical values are written as
standard text (x9 = 48). Simple analytical expressions can be written with the Subscript and
Superscript formatting options: Pmax, x(2), nCk,
References to the equation numbers should include the parentheses: Substituting (2) in (1)
results in The word Equation should appear at the beginning of a sentence: Equation (1) is
derived from...
Avoid grammatical constructions, such as, Using (2), the modified equation was obtained.
[It remains unclear who or what used (2).] Write instead, The modified equation was obtained by
using (2), or Using (2), we obtained the modified equation.
Use the same symbol size in all equations. Avoid reductions of the symbol size to fit within a
single row. The equation length should not exceed the column width. This may result in a
truncation of the right side of the analytical expression or the equation may apparently overlap the
second column.
The importance and the applicability of the equations must be well explained in the text. The
consecutive appearance of multiple equations depends on the authors point of view, but derivations
of straightforward results should be left for verification to the reader. Long proofs of important
equations should be included in Appendix.
