I'm a relative newbie to latex so this may seem trivial. In my
appendix, I'd like to number the equations like this:
A1, A2, A3, etc... I can reset the counter to the equations, however,
how do I add the 'A' in front of the number?

Any help would be appreciated,
Ashish

Oh, nevermind, I figured out how to do it about 5 seconds after I
posted this. I did:
\setcounter{equation}{0}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{A\arabic{equation}}
which did the trick. Incidentally, is there another way of doing it?

If you have an appendix B, it would be good to use B1, B2,...

So \renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection\arabic{equation}}
(presuming appendices are sections).

The only other thing is that these should go into
the definition of \appendix.
