\section{Chapter 2 Questions}

\begin{itemize}

        \item[2.1.] Here is my answer to question~2.1 of the text of the
                book. This question has sub-parts, and so I use another
                list to answer them.
                %
                \begin{enumerate}[a)]

                        \item Answer to first sub-part.

                        \item Answer to second sub-part.

                \end{enumerate}

        \item[2.7.] Here is my answer to question~2.7. It also has
                sub-parts, but for some reason they're given with roman
                numerals, and so I'll use lowercase roman numerals here
                too.
                %
                \begin{enumerate}[i)]

                        \item Answer to first sub-part.

                        \item Answer to second sub-part.

                \end{enumerate}

\end{itemize}

\section{Chapter 3 Questions}

\begin{itemize}

        \item[3.2.] Question~3.2 asks me to list things, and so I give
                an unnumbered/unlettered list.
                %
                \begin{itemize}

                        \item First item in the list.

                        \item Second item in the list.

                        \item Third item in the list.

                \end{itemize}
                %
                I also say something after the list.

        \item[3.15.] Strangely, question~3.15 requires me to list a
                mathematical equation.
                %
                \begin{equation}
                        \frac{\sin(2\pi T)}{2\pi}
                        =
                        \int_0^T \cos(2\pi t) dt
                        \label{eq:trigcalc}
                \end{equation}
                %
                However, you probably don't need
                Equation~\ref{eq:trigcalc} in ECE~481.

\end{itemize}
