Equation, Figure, and Table Numbering

This book is organized into chapters, each divided into sections. A section labeled X.Y denotes Section Y of Chapter X. Important equations, as well as those cited in the text, are numbered consecutively within each section, starting from (1).

When referring to an equation located in another section, its number is preceded by the corresponding chapter and section. Thus, (X.Y.Z) refers to Equation (Z) in Chapter X, Section Y. A reference to the same equation made within Section X.Y is written simply as (Z).

References of the form (X.Y.Z) include an embedded link. Clicking the reference opens a new tab displaying Section X.Y, automatically scrolled to Equation (Z).

The same numbering and cross-referencing conventions apply to figures and tables.
