Putting periods after equations that end a sentence. #29

Closed wmboyles closed 3 years ago

wmboyles commented 3 years ago

In some of the works, especially diffEq and multiCalc, there are not periods ending sentences that end with equations. An example would be something like:

The roots of $ax^2 + bx + c$ are
\begin{equation*}
    x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\end{equation*}

Instead, there should be a period ending the sentence in-line with the equation like so:

The roots of $ax^2 + bx + c$ are
\begin{equation*}
    x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.
\end{equation*}

If you find instances like this, please correct them and submit a pull request, preferably referencing this issue in the commit message.

Note: when the align* environment is used to show several lines of work, there should only be a period completing a sentence on the last line. If multiple sentences are in a single align* environment, each sentence should be ended with a period. If a sentence is ended before an equation or align, the equation does not need a period.
