The purpose of this document is to provide a template file suitable for a medium-sized undergraduate project.
Copy the sample chapter as many times as you need.
It should be obvious how to obtain new sections and subsections.
Simply replace the existing text with your own
Rest of the text introducing this chapter.

%%%%%%%%%% INFORMATION %%%%%%%%%%
\section{A Note About References}
%
The Third and Fourth Year Handbook, and the Third and Fourth Year Project Handbook, have some clear guidelines about plagiarism and referencing.
You should consult your project supervisor about the correct format for handling references.
This document uses the `in-text' or Harvard system of referencing, which is a good default format.
This requires both in-text citations and a list of references at the end of the document.
The project templates have an example of a list of references.
Within the text you must cite the authors surname(s) and the date of publication.
When referring to a specific idea, or a direct quote, you must also give the page number.
If there are two authors, use `and' and if there are more, use `et al.'\ and give all the authors names at the end.
There are two styles of citation, implicit and explicit.
Both are equally acceptable and it is also acceptable to mix and match.
\subsection{Examples of implicit in-text citations}
%
The sum of convex functions is itself convex (Blacke, 1985) and therefore any minimiser of this objective function will be a global minimiser (Greene and Whit, 1995, p.123). It is possible to exploit this fact (Browne et al., 2005) to enhance the optimisation algorithm.
\subsection{Examples of explicit in-text citations}
%
Blacke (1985) first proved that a sum of convex functions is convex. Any minimiser of this objective function will be a global minimiser, a fact shown by Greene and Whit (1995, p.123) and exploited by Browne et al.\ (2005) to enhance the optimisation algorithm.
