Is it possible to set equations in table in eqn/tbl/troff?
I've tried the following with unsatisfactory results:

    .EQ
    delim %%
    .EN
    .TS
    center;
    c s
    l l.
    Geometric Measurements
    _
    % pi r sup 2 %	area of a circle
    % 2 pi d %	circumference of a circle
    _
    .TE

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to do this properly.

Thanks,
