\textbf{Latex Conventions and Formatting Choices:}\\
\begin{itemize}
\item Quotations: use `` and '' instead of " " for quotations. i.e. "force" $\rightarrow$ ``force''
\item Equations:
\begin{itemize}
\item Use ``\&='' for alignment.
\item Use ``align'' for numbered equations and ``align*'' for unnumbered equations.
\end{itemize}
\item All quantities with units should be written using the SI package. i.e. 5cm $\rightarrow \SI{5}{cm}$.
\item All figures use the capfig environment, and a caption is included.

\item (Do we want a standard size for the figures?)
\item Labelling:
\begin{itemize}
\item all lowercase 
\item include chapter name in label i.e. fig:applyingnewtonslaws:slidingbox
\end{itemize}

\item Use periods at the end of items in an itemized list. Capitalize items in an itemized list. 
\item All variables should be in \$\$ i.e. ``The value of  x is'' $\rightarrow$ ``The value of $x$ i''
\item Inverse trig functions should be written as $\tan^{-1}$ instead of $\arctan$ or $tan^{-1}$, etc.
\item For fractions that are in parentheses, use left( and right) i.e.
\begin{align*}
(\frac{a+b}{c}) \rightarrow \left(\frac{a+b}{c}\right) 
\end{align*}
