Abstract
This is a sample of the way a completed manuscript for a MAED5851 paper should look. This sample contains the major section headings of a typical paper. Reports should be written in English and restricted to 6-10 pages in length with no more than four pages of figures or tables, including a 100- to 120-word abstract.
1. Introduction
In this section, you should introduce your work by explaining what physical problem you are considering and why it is of interest. In other words, this section should motivate the rest of the paper (and should motivate the reader to read further).
Note how we have been referencing other works. You may find the full references at the end of the paper. Plagiarism (the copying of the writings of another author so that it appears to be your own original work) will not be tolerated in this class. Any paper which contains copied material without citation will automatically receive a low grade.
2. Governing equations
You may want to have a section like this to display the mathematical model which you are considering, and to define all the parameters of your problem.
3. Numerical methods
If your numerical methods are novel, you may want a section such as this which provides details to the reader. If your methods are standard, this section may be omitted. If your work is more analytical, you may entitle this section Analytical Methods instead.
4. Results
This is the main body of your paper. Here, you present your numerical and/or analytical results and the figures which illustrate them.

5. Conclusions
Here you discuss what you have learned from this work, and what the reader should have learned from your paper.
Acknowledgments
If there are some colleagues in or outside the class that you have discussed this work with, you may want to acknowledge these discussions here.
