Text Formatting ⇒ How add a caption to a formula?

[artemff]

For example:

Code: Select all

Newton's Second Law
 F = ma

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It depends on how it should be aligned. You could write normal text above, or use a multiline environment of amsmath and the \text macro like \text{Newton's Second Law}.

As Stefan_K has pointed out, it all depends on your intent; here's an example using some of the features provided by the caption package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{caption}

\DeclareCaptionType{mycapequ}[][List of equations]
\captionsetup[mycapequ]{labelformat=empty}

\begin{document}
\listofmycapequs

\begin{mycapequ}[!ht]
  \caption{Newton's Second Law}
  \begin{equation}
    F=ma
  \end{equation}
\end{mycapequ}

\end{document}
