Making references in LaTeX ([Link])
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Need to compile the document twice
Because we are using symbolic references, e.g., \cite{WF}, a second pass is necessary The second pass will resolve references

Rolando V. Raqueo Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Modify chapter_sd.tex
\chapter{Standard Deviation} \label{C:SD} \end{equation} We can see that equation \ref{E:sd} uses equation \ref{E:mean} to compute the mean and that the \emph{Mean} function uses equation \ref{E:sum} both of which are defined in Chapter \ref{C:Sum} and \ref{C:Mean}, respectively 39

Including image graphics into you LaTeX document
Need to convert your image graphics into EPS (encapsulated postscript).
For images, use pnmtops, e.g. % pnmtops [Link] > [Link]
Need to include an extension package to LaTeX called graphics using command
\usepackage{graphics}
N.B. In CIS systems, following example works for latex but not for pdflatex 43
