The abstract of a technical document serves as a summary, which presents the conclusions and all results of general interest in the document. It is usually one short paragraph, and does not include mathematical equations, footnotes, references, graphics, or tabular material. In other words, an abstract briefly summarizes what has been achieved, what method has been used, and how it was done; and the language of an abstract should not be technically specific so that readers of general background can easily understand it.
