1. Numbered References: Uses bracketed numbers corresponding to a numbered reference list.
2. Author-Year Citations: Uses the author's last name and year in parentheses.

• Author-Year Citations: Listed alphabetically by the author's last name.
• Book: Smith, J. Advanced Calculus. 3rd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2018.
• Journal Article: Brown, R., Taylor, M. Solutions to Diophantine Equations. Math. Comp. 50 (2020), 123–145.
• Conference Paper: Doe, M. New Applications of Algebraic Topology. In Proc. AMS Annual Meeting, 45–60. AMS, 2019.

Formatting
