\section{Citations}
This template uses the \verb|natbib|
package.
Use the command \verb|\cite| for citations in parentheses.
Use the command \verb|\citet| for citations in text.
Use the command \verb|\citeyearpar| for the year only, in parentheses.
For example,
\begin{verbatim}
... as in \LaTeX\ \cite{Lamport86} ...
... and \citet{Knuth86} claims ...
... and Knuth's later work \citeyearpar{Knuth86} claims ...
\end{verbatim}
will result in
\begin{quote}
... as in \LaTeX\ \cite{Lamport86} ...\\
... and \citet{Knuth86} claims ...\\
... and Knuth's later work \citeyearpar{Knuth86} claims ...
\end{quote}
You can change the template to use another citation style if you prefer. The only requirement is that citations appear in the style ``accepted in your field.''
\section{Math}
Use \verb|\log| and \verb|\exp|, not \verb|log| and \verb|exp|.
Blank lines start a new paragraph - don't start
a new paragraph after an equation in the middle of a sentence.
Use
\begin{verbatim}
\[ e^{\pi i} = -1 \]
where $i=\sqrt{-1}.$
\end{verbatim}
NOT
\begin{verbatim}
\[ e^{\pi i} = -1 \]
where $i=\sqrt{-1}.$
\end{verbatim}
in order to avoid having the word ``where'' indented as the
beginning of a new paragraph.
Use \verb|\left(| and \verb|\right)| to get parens that are the right size for whatever is inside them.
For a variable or function name consisting of more than one letter, use \verb|\mathit{func}| or \verb|\mathrm{func}|. Otherwise, latex interprets this as $f*u*n*c$.
For angled brackets to denote tuples, use \verb|\langle| and \verb|\rangle|, not \verb|<| and \verb|>|.
\section{Text}
TeX assumes that a period ends a sentence unless it follows an uppercase letter.
Use \verb|Smith et al.\ claim|, not \verb|Smith et al. claim|.
At the end of a sentence, use \verb|consisting of an NP\@.|, not \verb|consisting of an NP.|.
``et al.'' is ``et al.'', not ``et. al.'' or ``et. al''
