Equations should be set up by equations editor embedded in MS Word 2007. Usage of Cyrillic script is not encouraged. Furthermore, equations need to be numbered on the right (in round brackets). However, it is appropriate to number equations that are mentioned in the text only. Explanations of designations used in equations are located in the order in which they appear in text.

Hyphen is for complex words. Dash is served for setting range limits (for instance, 15–20, XIX–XX centuries). In this case, there is no space before and after the dash. Moreover, dash can be as minus in equations. Decimal numbers are typed by comma, not dot.
