The text of the first chapter goes here. To cite a reference for the
bibliography, use a command such as:\cite{thisbook}
\section{A Section Heading}
This is a sentence to take up space and look like text.
\subsection{A Subsection Heading}
\chapter{THE NEXT CHAPTER}
And so on, for more chapters.
Another citation for the bibliography:\cite{anotherbook}
% The following produces a numbered bibliography where the numbers
% correspond to the \cite commands in the text.
\specialhead{LITERATURE CITED}
\begin{singlespace}
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{thisbook} This is the first item in the Bibliography.

\chapter{THIS IS AN APPENDIX}
Note the numbering of the chapter heading is changed.
This is a sentence to take up space and look like text.

This is how equations are numbered in an appendix:
\begin{equation}
x^2 + y^2 = z^2
\end{equation}
\chapter{THIS IS ANOTHER APPENDIX}
This is a sentence to take up space and look like text.
