subequation numbering

Post by omkardpd »

Hi,

Is there a way to number subequations in sequence with respect to the parent equation? eg. I have an equation which is numbered as (3). There are two terms in equation (3). I want to evaluate the first term and call it (3.1) or (3.a). Similaryl evaluate second term seperately and call it (3.2) or (3.b). Is this possible?

Thank you

Omkar

You could use the subequations environment provided by the amsmath package. Read the User guide (3.11.3 Subordinate numbering sequences, page 10) to learn about it.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
