\subsection{Equations}
\label{sec:subsection_label}
\vspace{-0.2in}
%
Equations numbering and formatting is also handled nicely by \LaTeX. An example equation is shown in (\ref{eqn:example}).
%
\begin{equation}
\ddot{x}_1 = \frac{1}{m}\left(-k x_1 - c\dot{x}_1 + F\right)
\label{eqn:example}
\end{equation}
%
The next equation is numbered automatically, as shown by (\ref{eqn:example2}).
%
\begin{equation}
\ddot{\theta} + \frac{g}{l}\theta = 0
\label{eqn:example2}
\end{equation}
%
Aliquam aliquet, est a ullamcorper condimentum, tellus nulla fringilla elit, a iaculis nulla turpis sed wisi. Fusce volutpat. Etiam sodales ante id nunc. Proin ornare dignissim lacus. Nunc porttitor nunc a sem. Sed sollicitudin velit eu magna. Aliquam erat volutpat. Vivamus ornare est non wisi. Proin vel quam. Vivamus egestas.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Using Figures}
\label{sec:using_figures}
\vspace{-0.2in}
%
The experimental platform is shown in Figure \ref{fig:cherrypicker_labeled}. \LaTeX will handle numbering the figures in the order that they appear and inserting a properly formatted caption.
If the figure file is not in the same folder as your \LaTeX document, then you need to specify the relative path to it. The figure environment is very powerful and customizable. A more thorough review of using figures in \LaTeX can be found at:
\hspace{0.25in}\url{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions}
%
% This is the code block that includes the figure.

\caption{The Experimental Setup}

\end{center}
\vspace{-0.2in}
\end{figure}
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Using Tables}
\label{sec:tables}
\vspace{-0.2in}
%
A table is shown in Table \ref{table:sim_parameters}. Table captions should go above your tables. \LaTeX will handle this, along with numbering the tables in the order that they appear. There are many tools for creating \LaTeX tables, including some macros that will do so from an Excel file, or similar.
% The code below is what creates the table.
\begin{table}
\label{table:sim_parameters}
\begin{center}
\caption{Parameters Used In Simulation}
\vspace{0.1in}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\hline
\hline
Parameter & Value \\
\hline
Leg Mass, $m_l$ & 0.175 kg \\
Actuator Mass, $m_a$ & 1.003 kg \\
Natural Frequency & 11.13 Hz \\
Gravity & 0.276g $\frac{m}{s^2}$ \\[1ex]
\hline
Stroke Length, $(x_a)_{max}$ & 4 mm \\
$(\ddot{x}_a)_{max}$ & 25 $\frac{m}{s^2}$ \\
$(\dot{x}_a)_{max}$ & 0.4 $\frac{m}{s}$ \\
