Master's thesis latex template.

"LaTeX is a document preparation system. When writing, the writer uses plain text as opposed to the formatted text found in WYSIWYG ("what  you see is what you get") word processors. The writer uses markup tagging conventions to define the general structure of a document (such as article, book, letter, or thesis), to stylise text throughout a document (such as bold and italics), and to add citations and cross-references. A TeX distribution such as TeX Live or MikTeX is used to produce an output file (such as PDF or DVI) suitable for printing or digital distribution. Within the typesetting system, its name is stylised as L a T e X ." — Adopted from Wikipedia. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX )

Graduate programs, math report, thesis, or dissertation template for latex.

Caution : Requirements of the Graduate School may have changed since this was written. Check their formatting page here for Dissertations and Theses .

In Mathematics most papers are written in a type setting markup language called LaTeX - which evolved from TeX. It is much better at handling equations than Word type programs. It will also automatically number theorems, lemmas, definitions and bibliographic entries. The various LaTeX processing programs can be found at CTAN . They are free. The download time is about an hour. For Windows most people would download proTeX while Mac users would need MacTeX. Extra packages can be included to handle specialized needs such as graphics, commutative diagrams, chemistry notation and even chess moves.

LaTeX is a computer programming language. When you run the program it creates your document as output. It is not like Word where you see the final result as you type. As with most programs there is some header material, then the program begins, then it ends. In LaTeX the header starts with

\documentclass[*]{format}

where * is 10pt or 12pt and sets the default font size and format may be "article", "report", "amsart", "book" or various other options. For your report, thesis or dissertation use "siugrad51" as the format. In the header various packages are included such as

\usepackage{graphicx}

which loads a graphics package. There are also commands for setting formatting options for theorems and such. None of this in the output. Then a

\begin{document}

indicates the beginning of the executable program. The final line is

\end{document}

In between will be the commands and text that generate your title page, table of contents, the body of your paper, and the bibliography.

There are many books and web-pages, in addition to CTAN, on how to use LaTeX. Here are two sites.

• https://www.latex-project.org/help/books/
• https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX

The main file is Thesis.tex . It is the file to run in whatever LaTeX program you are using. It is used for reports and dissertations in addition to theses. Thesis.tex needs various other files however. The first of these is siugrad51.cls . Never edit this file.

The other files you will edit with your information. For example, your abstract will be in the file Abstract.tex . Edit this file to replace the sample abstract with your own.

The sample has three chapters. You will likely have more. You can create files ch4.tex , ch5.tex and so on. You will need to edit the Thesis.tex file so that it knows to include these.

The *.ps files have figures in them. Ignore them if you do not need figures in your paper.

Here is a list of the major files:

• siugrad51.cls
• Copyright.tex
• Abstract.tex
• Approval.tex (Your committee approves your work.)
• Acknow.tex (For any acknowledgments: "My advisor helped soooo much ...")
• Dedication.tex ("I dedicate this to my parents.")
• Preface.tex (Why my work is so important! Not needed for reports.)
• Biblio.tex (For the bibliography.)
• Vita.tex (Hire me! Hire me!!)

To produce LaTeX documents that are reasonably conformant to LSU Grad School requirements for theses and dissertations, our document class “lsuthesis” may be used in place of the standard “book” document class. The separate “lsutitle” package provides helper macros and produces the title page. That package is kept separate from the document class so that one can easily switch to other document classes.

Note: This is the 2022/03/11 version. This is a work-in-progress provided in this preliminary form to assist graduate students with an immediate need.

Document class

• lsuthesis.cls
• lsutitle.sty

To use the template below, you also need the two files above.

• mythesis.tex
• mythesis.pdf

Getting started

For an example of what can be produced, take a look at “mythesis.pdf”. To produce your own thesis or dissertation, download the other three files and modify “mythesis.tex”. More specifically:

• You need access to a TeX/LaTeX environment ;
• Place “mythesis.tex”, “lsuthesis.cls”, “lsutitle.sty” together in a folder;
• Use a text editor to modify “mythesis.tex”;
• Tell your your LaTeX environment to convert your modified “mythesis.tex” into a new “mythesis.pdf”;
• Repeat the last two steps as often as needed.

Debugging conformance issues

When debugging conformance issues, start by comparing your preamble to that of the original “mythesis.tex” from this page. Many conformance issues are not due to the “lsuthesis” document class but instead due to conflicts arising from unnecessary preamble content (particularly macro definitions and \usepackage{...} lines) that the student has copied from somewhere but doesn't actually need.

If you are a math graduate student using these files and receive reports from LSU Grad School over conformance issues that are specific to the document class (e.g., issues with margin sizes or with font sizes or with spacing), please contact Alexander Perlis. The math department also appreciates feedback from other departments and might be able to provide some assistance but ultimately is not responsible for helping students from other departments with the preparation of conformant documents.

Thesis formatting, introduction.

If you write a Ph.D. thesis, you have to follow the  specifications  of the graduate school.

Additional information and answers to frequently asked questions can be found the graduate school’s Doctoral Degree Programs page.

A thesis in mathematics is invariably written in some form of LaTeX. It is usually quite a large LaTeX project, so it should not be your first attempt at typesetting. This implies that you should have typed a couple articles, quizzes, homeworks or exams in LaTeX before embarking on this. Below, two options have been created that conform to the guidelines set forth by the graduate school. The first is a minimal option that builds on the familiar book class that comes standard with any LaTeX distribution, while the second is a class file to be used in place of the book class, but contains extra content not suitable for all users. You may choose the option that works best in your case.

Below are a few of the well-done thesis variants from our department.

• Thesis class by Waseet Kazmi – 2023
• Thesis class by Ben Salisbury – 2012
• Thesis class by Marc Corluy – 2000

After unzipping put files into  one  directory. Some browsers (e.g. Safari on the Macs in the department) will put the files on your desktop. In this case create a new folder and put them all in there. In any case, make this move before you start compiling, because LaTeX generates a multitude of files when compiling and your desktop will turn into a (more?) disorderly mess.

Also make sure that the extensions are preserved. Some browsers have a tendency to slap on “.txt” at the end.

Open a text editor or a dedicated LaTeX editor,  such as TeXShop  (installed on department Macs).  When you are typing LaTeX code, it is usually clearer to use a fixed width font so that you have a clear view of your indentations and matrices (should there be any). In TeXShop, a good choice is “Courier Bold 14pts”. This font also has different characters for “|” and lowercase L. This is particularly important if you are trying to typeset tables where both “|” and lowercase L are used in the declaration.

You will now have to open some of the files that you downloaded and edit them. Here are descriptions of the set of files prepared by Ben Salisbury, listed (as best as possible) in order of priority.

• macros.tex  This file is the heart of your personalization. If you have been using LaTeX for your other manuscripts and have developed your own set of user-defined commands, then you should put them in this file. If you are importing text into one of the later files from an older LaTeX file with predefined commands, you will want your personal macros to be loaded already before fumbling with LaTeX error messages.

so those who prefer to use, say,

• thesis.tex  Lines 8 through 17 of this file require the user to input their personal data; i.e., name, degrees, year of graduation, advisory committee, and title. Further down in the file, you’ll notice the command \input{ch1.tex} . This imports the text from  ch1.tex  to the current position in this file. By copying the command and changing ch1 to ch2 (and so on), you will be able to link all chapters of your work to this file. Essentially, this file is the glue that holds the whole project together. This is also the file on which the TeX engine is run to obtain the desired output.
• abstract.tex ,  acknowledgments.tex , and  ch1.tex  should be self-explanatory. Of course, you should have more than one chapter to their thesis. The challenge of creating LaTeX files for the subsequent chapters is left to the user. Good luck!
• thesis.bib  This is a standard BibTeX file to be used as the source for your bibliography output. This may take some time to learn, so the file comes preloaded with a sample  .bib  file. Your best bet is find some literature on BibTeX to tackle this beast. Of course, one could simply replace the bibligraphy declarations in the  thesis.tex  with a manual bibliography, as Marc Corluy does in his setup below. To each his own.
• frontmatter.tex  Simply put: don’t touch it. If you need to make changes here, you should probably consider using Marc Corluy’s template (unless you are familiar enough to make the appropriate changes).

Here are comments on the files prepared by Marc Corluy.

• bibliography.tex  is not your first concern. The references that are listed in there are there to give you an idea about the exact format in which a book or article should be entered into this file.
• chapter1.tex ,  chapter2.tex , and  introchapter.tex  are almost empty; they are merely there to show you how to use titles and sections.
• The file  definitions.tex  you can completely ignore if you want to. It contains (re)definitions of some symbols and a fairly long list of basic mathematical symbols and functions. It can be handy to get a certain feel for how to use “def” in LaTeX and you can also add whatever you end up using often in your thesis.
• Most of the static data (title of the thesis, your previous degrees, your advisors, acknowledgment etc.) are entered in  front_matter.tex . The comments in this file will explain you what to put where.
• If you want to explain some of the notation that you use in your thesis, you should do so in notationpage.tex . It is technically part of the front matter of the thesis, but it is a separate file because this is probably the only part of the front matter data that changes as the thesis evolves.
• You will probably not change much to  settings.tex . This file loads a lot of the extensions to LaTeX and defines the elements of the  amsthm.sty  package, as is explained in the comments in  settings.tex .
• As you can guess,  thesis.tex  is the file where it all comes together. The includeonly command will allow you to compile only parts of your thesis if you prefer to do so. Note that you should compile the thesis twice to make sure that all the labels are set correctly.
• In principle, you should never change anything to  uconnthesis.cls .

Write your thesis. Good Luck.

IU Thesis Document class

The IU Thesis Document class is a LaTeX document class that produces output acceptable (as of Summer 2018) for an Indiana University Bloomington Master’s or Doctoral thesis. It is available free for anybody's use, but comes with no warranty. In particular, the author is not responsible if it produces output that is not acceptable to the Graduate School. This document class is not officially sanctioned by the University Graduate School, although several theses have been written with it and accepted.

Per the University Graduate School information page on  thesis formatting , the template font in the sample may not be the correct size. Font size should be either 11 or 12 point for the entire document, including section and chapter headings, with the only exception being the title on the title page, footnotes, tables/charts, and picture/table descriptions. Font up to size 16 point may be used for the document’s title on the title page, only. Font as small as 10 point may be used for footnotes, the content of tables/charts, and picture/table/chart descriptions. The Acceptance and Abstract pages are slightly different: the official formatting should have lines for the committee signatures.

The ociamthesis.cls was written by Keith A. Gillow. The latest version (2.2) was released on 22/11/2010. The class is based upon the standard report class around which most people design their thesis. Key features are

• It defines the page size allowing for an offset for binding.
• It defines the layout of the title page including title, logo / crest, name, college, submittedtext, degree name, degree date.
• It uses the current university branding square logo by default (but can also use the older shield crest or belt crest).
• Dedication page environment (layout as a verse).
• Acknowledgements page environment (layout as a quote).
• Alternative acknowledgementslong environment form which isn't set out as a quote.
• Statement of Originality environment (originality) and long version (originalitylong). Formatting similar to acknowledgements enviroments.
• Abstract page environment (layout as a quote).
• Alternative abstractlong environment form which isn't set out as a quote.
• Alternative abstractseparate environment form which isn't set out as a quote and has all the title page info on as well (useful for the separate copy required when you submit the final copy to the Bodleian Library).
• Romanpages environment to number frontmatter pages in lower case roman.
• Support for twoside and openright document class options

Here is an example of how to use this class in a master latex document .

The structure of the dedications file (called dedications.tex in the example) is

\begin{dedication} This thesis is dedicated to\\ someone\\ for some special reason\\ \end{dedication}

The structure of the abstract (abstract.tex) file is of the form

\begin{abstract} plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle. \end{abstract}

and the structure of the acknowledgements (acknowledgements.tex) file is of the form

\begin{acknowledgements} plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle, plenty of waffle. \end{acknowledgements}

This example PDF file shows some of the sort of output this class generates . This example output uses the gillow bibliography style file which is a very minor modification to the plain bibliography style.

Cover Page Logo / Crest

Current university logo / branding.

As of version 2.2 the default is to use a graphical logo with file name oxlogo.eps (for LaTeX) or oxlogo.pdf (for PDFLaTeX).

The Mathematical Institute Linux systems have the class and logo files installed by default. If you are using this document class on another system you will need to obtain a suitable logo file to go with the class file available from this page. You can obtain this from the university's official branding page and/or via the university's visual identity guidelines page, or by taking a copy of the files on the Linux system (just use the command locate oxlogo to find the file).

Previous Logos / Branding

It is still possible to use the older metafont logo of either the belt crest or shield crest by using the new (as of version 2.2) options beltcrest or shieldcrest in the documentclass line, i.e.

documentclass line for old belt crest logo using the beltcrest metafont

\documentclass[12pt,beltcrest]{ociamthesis}

documentclass line for older shield crest logo using the crest metafont

\documentclass[12pt,shieldcrest]{ociamthesis}

In these cases then either the metafont file oxcrest40 or oxbeltcrest installed (for legacy use) on the Maths Institute system are used.
