Equation numbering in appendix

Post by msalmanrashed »

Hi Guys

Found solution to the problem I had. Now I am posed with another problem. That is, when we label equations in Main Section and Appendix, how to differentiate? and keep track of? e.g I have an equation \ref{eq:1} defined in Sec 1. And I have an equation \ref{eq:1} defined in Appendix A. When referencing the equation later in the text, i get an error that eq:1 multiple times defined.
Moreover, I may have to add another equation in between existing equations in the Main Sections, which will force me to change equation numbering in Appendix every time the equations in Main text change?
Sorry for being verbose, trying to bring out my problem clearly.
Sal

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Welome, you should have opened a new topic. Anyway this is a Crosspost.

You should not label your equations by numbers, but use a descriptive label like archimedes or einstein, or viscosityVacuum, or pressure1500K.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
