  11. Hello, all. I'm currently writing a thesis in LaTeX that uses a great
  12. deal of equations. In a couple of instances, I would like to present a
  13. group of equations together, with related equation numbers. Say I've
  14. used the equation environment to number my first three equations 1, 2,
  15. and 3. Suppose that I would like to number the next group of related
  16. equations 4a, 4b, and 4c and then go on with 5, 6, 7, ... for the
  17. following equations.
  18.  
  19. Does LaTeX support such flexible equation numbering? Is there any way
  20. to do this short of manually typing in these numbers (which of course
  21. would disrupt LaTeX's automatic numbering feature)? I appreciate any
  22. suggestions you could offer.
