title of appendix
Hi, in a few weeks I'll hand my master thesis in and I am cannot decide, what I should name the first of my two appendices. The second on is called "Programming Code" and contains a lot of software code, while the first appendix contains a mathematical proof and some extra explanations of the background for some parameters (and these two things have nothing to do with each other). I was thinking about calling it something like Additional Comments/Notes/Annotations, but cannot decide what is most correct. Normally I understand an annotation as a short remark, but could it also be used for an appendix? Which word do you think works the best, or do you have another suggestion?

If they have nothing to do with each other, why not put them in separate appendices? Call them exactly whatever they are, like "Proof of Whatever it is I Proved" and "Supplemental Parametric Data Thingie". You know what I mean.

I have thought about it....maybe I should just do that.
Do you have any comment about the use of 'annotation'?

The word "annotation" requires "notes" to be there. When you annotate a work, you add material from outside it to explain or augment it. Annotated Shakespeare has footnotes defining the weird old words he used and sometimes historical context or literary comments.
