Formulas

Below is an example of how to include a mathematical formula in the thesis.

In direct-current circuit analysis, the conductance representing the conductivity of a component or circuit is:

G = I / U                  (1)

where I stands for the current in the component and U stands for the voltage. The unit for conductance is siemens (S).

Equations are numbered sequentially, and the terms of the equation are defined in the text following the equation.
