\r\n\r\nThe material in this chapter is intended as a broad and fundamental look at how to manage equations, figures, and tables in your writing. Style manuals within your field will offer much more detailed advice, possibly devoting a chapter or more to the subject. For instance, an excellent book by Dr. David Schultz<\/a>, chief editor for Monthly Weather Review<\/a>, offers\u00a0about 30\u00a0pages of advice on equations, figures, and tables. Schutz\u2019s chapter covers specialized forms such as the Cartesian grid, thermodynamic diagrams, and the use of GEMPAK software in meteorology, while also discussing nuances of legibility during rescaling, the use of nonlinear axes, shading and color, and line graphs vs. scatterplots.\u00a0 Schultz's book is titled Eloquent Science: A Practical Guide to Becoming a Better Writer, Speaker & Atmospheric Scientist<\/a><\/em>.\r\n\r\nIf you intend to be taken seriously as a published writer within your field, shelling out the cash for handbooks within your field will pay handsome dividends. For some additional recommended titles of style manuals and handbooks\u2014where you will find discipline-specific advice that goes well beyond equations, figures, and tables\u2014see the page \u201cSome Recommended Print Resources\u201d in chapter 5 of this manual.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
