<p>
 One reason for numbering things like figures and equations is to refer
 the reader to them, as in "See Figure 3 for more details."

<H2>Sections, Equations, Tables, etc.</H2>
One can generate numbered references to anything for which LaTeX
maintains a <a href="ltx-3.html">counter</a> by placing a 
<a href="ltx-252.html"><tt>\label</tt></a> command 
with some mnemonic name in the appropriate
<a href="ltx-27.html">environment</a>.  The reference is then generated
by use of the <A href="ltx-303.html"><tt>\ref</tt></A> command with the
same mnemonic.
<p>
For example
<pre>
  <tt>\begin{equation}
  <A href="ltx-252.html">\label</a>{eqno1}
    c <a href="ltx-404.html">\geq</a> <a href="ltx-319.html">\sqrt</a>{a^2+b^2+1}
  \end{equation}
  .... intervening text ...
  From Eq.~(<A href="ltx-303.html">\ref</a>{eqno1}) we see ...</tt>
</pre>
Assuming that this is the first equation,
the last line will produce "From Eq. (1) we see ..." Note the
use of the <a href="ltx-143.html"><tt>~</tt></a> 
to ensure that there is no line break  between "Eq." and "(1)."
Also note that the <tt>\ref</tt> command produces only the number;
if you want the number to be in parentheses (as shown here) you have
to include them in your text.

<h2>Bibliographic citations</h2>
Bibliographic citations work somewhat differently.  The following
should be consulted:
<ul>
<li><a href="ltx-211.html"><tt>\cite</tt></a>
<li><a href="ltx-73.html"><tt>\thebibligraphy</tt></a>
</ul>
