Each illustration should have a meaningful name and number. Use sequentially numbered (in Arabic numerals) within the article, independently for figures and tables. It is recommended to minimize the number of figures and tables.

Only sequential numbers can be used. Explanation of symbols in the formula (explication) is given in the order in which they are used in the formula.

The legend of the values ​​of the upper and lower indices may not use the letters of the Russian alphabet.
When typing formulas need to use a special editor - Mathtype or MS Equation 3.0 , included with Microsoft Office.

The formulas that are referenced in the text, numbered and arranged in the center of the line, number of the formula should be the right aligned. After each formula according to the context should be punctuation (comma, period, etc.). The formulas do not need to use the letters of the Russian alphabet. For example:
