[texhax] Problem with Appendices

[Balachander Narasimhan]

Hi Barbara,

thanks for the reply. I had an error with the command you gave. But I know
what it does and slightly modified it. It put an extra entry in the TOC.
Finally I got rid of the \appendix and used following commands to achieve
the goals

\clearpage

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{APPENDIX}

\begin{center}

{\bf APPENDIX}\\

{\bf SINR DEGRADATION ANALYSIS}

\end{center}

\thispagestyle{plain}

\setcounter{equation}{0}

\renewcommand{\theequation}{A.\arabic{equation}}

‎"This was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened in my
life. It was almost incredible as if you fired a 15-in shell at a tissue
paper and it bounced back and hit you" - Rutherford recalling his discovery
of atomic nucleus in an experiment that involved the reflection of high
energy alpha particles from a thin foil.
