with 1-in (2.5cm) margins on the top and bottom and 1.25-in (3.2 cm) margins on the

Figures or tables may be embedded in the text. No part of a figure or caption should
extend beyond the typing area. Figure captions can be centred beneath figures or placed

receive an equation number, in parentheses right justified.
