\chapter{Introduction}\label{ch:1}
The first chapter of a Capstone document is usually an overview of what you've done. Often, it is the last chapter you will write.
\begin{theorem} \label{example-theorem}
Sometimes, you will want to state the main results of your document in the introduction.
\end{theorem}
\begin{remark}
LaTeX is clever, and automatically generates numbers for theorems, remarks and anything else you might want to label. You can give these an invisible name using \verb!\label{your-key}! and referring back to it later using \verb!\ref{your-key}!, for example the following number will be the same as the theorem above: Theorem \ref{example-theorem}.
\end{remark}
Similarly, you will want to reference external sources as you write your document. The basic way to do this is to add \verb!\bibitem{your-chosen-key}!s at the end of your document (this template has three examples), and use \verb!\cite{your-chosen-key}! to refer to it. For instance, if I wanted to cite the example document by Noether, I can write \cite{bookByTuring}.
Mathematics is added using dollar signs for in-line math, i.e. $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$, or by using open-bracket close-bracket for a displayed equation.
\[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos \theta. \]
Ordered lists are written using the \verb!enumerate! environment:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Hello.
\item This is the second item in my list.
\end{enumerate}
I can also write unordered lists using \verb!itemize!:
\begin{itemize}
\item Hello.
\item This is now the second item in my list.
\end{itemize}
\chapter{Your first main chapter}\label{ch:2}
Here is the meat of your document
\section{Your first section of the first main chapter}\label{sec:2.1}
... goes here.
\chapter{Conclusions}\label{ch:concl}
And here is the final chapter showing how clever you are ....
%%% Remove the following example bibliography items and add your own %%%
\begin{thebibliography}{999} % The '999' here tells LaTeX how much space to reserve for the bibliography item numbers. It has nothing to do with the actual number of references.
%%% Bibliography items should be below this here %%%
\bibitem{myFirstReference} % This is a key, so you can cite this with \cite{myFirstReference}
