Snippet 3: Inserting image

%B e g i n n i n g o f document
\ usepackage { graphicx }

%In t h e document
\ begin { f i g u r e }[ p ]
\ centering
\ i n c l u d e g r a p h i c s [ width =0.8\ t e x t w i d t h ] { image . png}
\ c a p t i o n {Awesome Image }
\ l a b e l { f i g : awesome image }
\end{ f i g u r e }

Snippet 5: Math equations

This i s an in−l i n e e q u a t i o n : $ f ( x ) = x ˆ2 + 5 x + 3 $ .
And t h i s i s a s e p e r a t e e q u a t i o n :
\ begin { equation }
\ l a b e l { eq : maxwell }
\ oint \ mathbf {E} \cdot d \ mathbf {A} = \ f r a c {q { enc }}{\ epsilon 0 }
\end{ e q u a t i o n }

Will look like this:

This is an in-line equation: f (x) = x2 + 5x + 3. And this is a seperate equation:
I
qenc
E · dA = (1)
ϵ0

A few usefull mathematical operators
