Sample Recommendation Report 19 531

A list of symbols is formatted like a glossary, but it defines symbols and
abbreviations rather than terms. It, too, may be placed before the appendixes list of Symbols
or after the table of contents. Figure 19.7 shows a list of symbols.

Appendixes An appendix is any section that follows the body of the report
(and the glossary, list of symbols, or reference list). Appendixes (or appendices)
convey information that is too bulky for the body of the report or that will in-
terest only a few readers. Appendixes might include maps, large technical di-
agrams or charts, computations, computer printouts, test data, and texts of
supporting documents.
Appendixes, usually labeled with letters rather than numbers (Appendix
A, Appendix B, and so on), are listed in the table of contents and are referred
to at appropriate points in the body of the report. Therefore, they are accessi-
ble to any reader who wants to consult them. See pages 557–58 in the sample
recommendation report for examples of appendixes.
