\section*{\LaTeX Guidelines for Submission to \MTi}

Don't worry too much about layout and format since your article will be professionally typeset into the \MTi\ standard before publication.

Use a class such as \emph{memoir}. The article title should be a section heading, with important words capitalised. Subsections can be used if required; only the initial word is capitalised.

Spelling is British.

Use single quotes, with double quotes inside if necessary.

Uncommon abbreviations should be defined on first use and afterwards used consistently: Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). No points are used.

Dates should be formatted as 14 November 2010.

Large numbers are written with a comma: 4,000, 10,000. Matrices and vectors are bold, variables italic (i.e.\ in math mode).

No hyphen is required for `nonzero'.

\subsection*{Mathematics}
Displayed equations have final punctuation if required. They may be numbered, and do not require a colon before
\begin{equation}
E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2.
\end{equation}

Refer to equation (1), or just (1).

For integrals, the `d' of the integrand is typeset roman, with a thin space
\[
\int f(x) \, \mathrm{d}x.
\]

Axes: $x$-axis.

\newpage
\subsection*{References}
References numbered and should be given in the order cited. All references should be cited. Briefly, the format is as follows.

\subsubsection*{Book}
\begin{enumerate}
	\item Author A. and Author A.B. (Year) \emph{Title}. Place: Publisher, pages.
\end{enumerate}
e.g.
\begin{enumerate}
	\item Smith J. (2010) \emph{An Introduction to Mathematics}. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,  pp. 2--9.
	\item Smith J., Jones A.B. and Williams B. (2010) \emph{An Introduction to Mathematics}. 2nd ed. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
	\item Smith J., et al.\ (2010) \emph{An Introduction to Mathematics}. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
\end{enumerate}


\subsubsection*{Conference}
\begin{enumerate}
	\item Author A. (Year) Article title. In \emph{Proceedings of the Conference}, Date; Location.
\end{enumerate}
e.g.
\begin{enumerate}
	\item Smith J. (2010) An introduction to mathematics. In \emph{Proceedings of the 2nd Conference on Mathematics}, 15 Oct 2010, 15--19; Cambridge, UK.
\end{enumerate}


\subsubsection*{Journal}
\begin{enumerate}
	\item Author A. (Year) Article title. \emph{Journal} Volume, Issue, pages.
\end{enumerate}
e.g.
\begin{enumerate}
	\item Smith J. (2010) An introduction to mathematics. \emph{Mathematics Today}, vol. 40, no. 2, pp.  2--9.
\end{enumerate}

\subsubsection*{Citations}
Citations are numbered within square brackets: [1], [2,3], [4--6].

Since articles are generally short, references and citations do not need to use any of the \LaTeX\ packages.
