Struggling with the complexities of writing a thesis? You're not alone.

Crafting a thesis can be an


arduous task, requiring meticulous attention to detail, extensive research, and precise formatting.
From formulating a thesis statement to conducting in-depth analysis and presenting findings, the
process demands a significant investment of time and effort.

One of the most challenging aspects of thesis writing is formatting. With strict guidelines and
specific formatting requirements, such as those dictated by LaTeX, mastering the technical intricacies
can be overwhelming. LaTeX, a typesetting system widely used in academia, offers powerful tools
for producing professional-looking documents, but its learning curve can be steep for those
unfamiliar with its syntax and commands.

Navigating LaTeX for thesis writing requires not only a solid understanding of its functionality but
also patience and persistence. From setting up the document structure to incorporating tables, figures,
equations, and citations, every aspect demands precision and attention to detail. Even a minor error in
formatting can disrupt the entire document, leading to frustration and wasted time.

Some Hints on Mathematical Style. As the computer systems undergo updates and upgrades, some
of it will become obsolete. 5.1 Electronic submissions The command submit is to be used to submit
your assignments electronically. Besides the many functions common to text editors (including spell
checking and text highlighting), Kile allows you to compile LATEX documents and view them
without switching to a shell window. The first line will look like this: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 Page 128
Chapter 5. Quite often, intuition will suggest an answer and you’ll be in a better position to make
sense of the computed results. There might be guidelines of your school defining the order. Only if
the displacement of the figure leads to a mess in the logic of your presentation or if a large unfilled
area remains on the page, you should insist. LATEX will provide the section numbering (and
numbering of subsections within sections, etc.) so there is no need to include any number in the
argument. Hosepipe 829134 5 10 Improving I.N. Middle 853931 48 47 Can make it Note that a \\
was not necessary at the end of the last row. Take special care when accenting an i or a j, for they
should lose their dots when accented. The only new command is \item which indicates the beginning
of a new list item (and the end of the last one if this is not the first item). Thus a second lab worth
22 out of 25 marks will receive a final grade of 17 out of 25 if it is just one day late. The terms
“definition” and “remark” are also often abused. Theorem 4-1. The function H(x) defined by
Formula (4-1) is continuous. 5 Example. As an example of mathematical writing, we discuss the two
fundamental theorems of calculus. Run it from your local shell window prompt in Linux. In most
labs, results come from a series of runs of a program that a student creates. The goal is to help
students both improve their papers and become better writers. Maple programs (at least those in
Math-2130 projects) are usually rather compact. A warning is in order: \newline must only end part of
a line that is “already set”. The paper must be approved by registration day of the student’s last
semester. Let us have a look at some mathematics. \LaTeX\ is normally in paragraphing mode, where
it expects to find the usual paragraph material. You can redirect it to a text file in your directory. It
will leave appropriate space around operators, italicize variables, set an operator name in roman type,
leave the correct space after colons, place sub- and superscripts in the correct positions (based on
what it is you are working with), choose the correct typesizes,... the list of things it has been taught is
enormous. We can also have environment embedded within environment within environment and so
on, limited only by memory available on the computer. In optional cases, use the punctuation if it
promotes clarity at all, but strive for consistency through out the paper. Thus “Corollary 3-6” refers
to the sixth prominent statement in Section 3, and indicates that the statement is a corollary. Should
you have difficulty logging into a computer, please advise the person who is working in the lab. 5.2.2
Your computer account Everyone has been assigned a computer account, which provides access to
the desktop worksta- tions, which comprise MUN LABNeT. Any symbol that appears in your
calculations, arguments, or later in tables and graphs, should be defined. It is, however, the answer
which I think is correct.
Chapters - Thesis structure - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange. If you are going to compose as you type,
then pause a moment to think ahead and plan the structure of your document. Along with absolute
pathnames just described, there are relative pathnames. The basic principles are discussed and
illustrated here. There are many different kinds of text files: Program source files These files are
source code written by programmers in a high-level language like FORTRAN or C. But if you wish
to try any of the examples, do not forget to include those commands. This section should describe
all the fine details of the problem or model and the details of the mathematical method or algorithm
used to solve it, as well as structure and particulars of your computer code. Now we come to the
main point — how to actually put things down. But when the penny drops, you will wonder how
you ever put up with anything different. Page 16 Chapter 2. Technical writing 2.3. Organization of
report 2.3.7 Results and Analysis As in the case with Technical details section, this one can be
subdivided if the research has several parts. Also include a copy of your computer program (.f,.c,
etc.) or Maple worksheet (.mw). If there is a certain data file with “hidden” (not told to the reader)
data which your report depends on, it too should be included. Thus it is common to have the \hline
commands following the \\s on the input lines. Also, some expressions are sufficiently important that
they should be made to stand out. Maple knows a few special constants, which are also protected.
This template is a general template for scientific theses. LATEX will make most decisions for us; for
instance it will align everything for us without having to be told which are the longest entries in each
column. Following these principles will not cramp anyone’s style; there is plenty of room for
individual variation. This command behaves like the other style changing commands \em, \it, etc. For
long words it has been taught several potential hyphenation positions. A thesis will typically include
a review of the current state of research in the field of interest followed by a central hypothesis to
investigate further. Quite often, intuition will suggest an answer and you’ll be in a better position to
make sense of the computed results. One always has to choose a document class when preparing a
document with LATEX. In practice, the issue of just how to display authors' affiliations comes up
most urgently when you're submitting a paper to a journal. Input - modular chapters of a dissertation

and their Proofs. The icon where the wheel overlaps with a red curve invokes pdflatex. Input -
modular chapters of a dissertation - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange. Do it before you write a program
and before you explore the “real” data, for which you cannot predict the results. Thus a second lab
worth 22 out of 25 marks will receive a final grade of 17 out of 25 if it is just one day late. Scholarly
writing, as compared to fiction, is characterized by a more sophisticated hierarchy of logical units.
A perfectly normal, if not at all fancy, version is Mathematical Modeling of.... 2.3.3 Table of contents
The Table of Contents is generated automatically by LATEX from the headers of your sections. The
5 is in square brackets instead of braces because it is an optional argument and could be ommited all
together (giving the default of square root), Mandatory arguments are given enclosed by braces, and
optional arguments enclosed by square brackets. To be understood you have to follow some
grammatical rules. If we want only to simulate a few typed words, such as when I say to use
\newline to start a new line, then the \verb command is used. But it’s a misconception that only
weaker students should seek help there. Remember though, if you have to choose between fluidity
and clarity, then you must choose clarity. After all, this is our first experience of control symbols (do
not worry, there are many more to come). Weisstein, Continuity Principle, (accessed Dec. 5, 2008).
Page 18 Chapter 2. Technical writing 2.3. Organization of report Alternatively, “web sites may be
cited in running text instead of in an in-text citation” (The Chicago Manual of Style Online, section
Website). Where to from here? We have covered a good deal of LATEX’s mathematical abilities,
albeit rather superficial coverage here and there. Having a good folder structure from the start
actually helps you think sensibly about how to layout the content of your thesis. Online resources
quoted must also be given proper attribution. The first argument to \newtheorem defines a new
theorem-like environment name of your own choosing. Chapters - Thesis structure - TeX - LaTeX
Stack Exchange. Page 83 Chapter 4. Programming and graphing 4.1. Programming 4.1.3 Generating
graphics data with your own program We will discuss two-dimensional graphs only. Is there another
possibility to get the twoside margins. Note that these must be typed within math mode to be
interpreted as math symbols. An example chapter is included which explains the basics of latex and
this template. Note that the value SPEED(TMIN) is not included, since it has been included in the
previous summation. To smooth the flow, start a sentence where the preceding one left off. The

Phase Two paper should be like a formal professional report. We see now now that our initial
examples worked by considering a single character to be a group by itself. Page 138 Appendix B:
Two papers on mathematical writing B-1. This name specifies the path you must travel through the
tree to reach the file. No space will be inserted if we type a comma or period followed straight away
by something other than a space, because there are times when we will not require any space, i.e., we
do what comes naturally. We just need to supply the parts that make up each of these, and TEX will
take care of the rest. The end of a row is indicated in the usual manner, by using \\. Definitions that
are to apply to the entire document can be made before the declaration of the document beginning.
You can successfully use pdflatex if the only type of graphics in your document is that provided by
the LATEX’s picture environment or its extensions as described in Sect. 4.4. 5. The command lgrind
(Sect. 3.1.9) may not work on your home computer (although you may have successfully installed a
LATEX distribution). In fact, the environment used here was Scaledpicture, which produces an
uncentred scaledpicture.
To suppress indentation, you can use the command \noindent. Can you please tell me where should I
put the logo if I also want to mention the name of the university in the title page. A FORTRAN
program has been written and the number of partitions has been computed for all N ? 30. Each main
point should be accented via stylistic repetition, illustration, or language. Procedures can contain
loops, conditionals and calls to other procedures or to Maple’s built-in functions. We rather focus on
the elements of writing specific to this course. (Yet some common spelling errors will be mentioned
— see Sect. 2.3.10.) Writing requires you to organize your flow of thought into a coherent sequence
of units carrying sense. It avoids “widows”, which are single lines of a paragraph occurring by
themselves at either the bottom of a page (where it would have to be the first line of a paragraph) or
at the top of a page (where it would have to be the last). Notation used. This typeface is anything
you type in literally. The subsection Mathematical details (or whatever the title) generally includes
nota- tion used, definitions, mathematical formulation of a model (set-up), relevant theoretical facts,
mathematical formulation of a method or algorithm of solution. Each command knows how many
arguments to expect, so you do not have to provide any indication of that. For example, clarity and
forthrightness promote conciseness; precision and familiarity promote clarity. As the computer
systems undergo updates and upgrades, some of it will become obsolete. 5.1 Electronic submissions
The command submit is to be used to submit your assignments electronically. You should experiment
with these to find the appropriate relationship among the parameters to suit your purpose.
Correspondingly, the requirement has two phases, which engage students at the beginning and
toward the end of their careers. Every paper must have some technical mathematics in it. No one but
you is ultimately responsible for everything in your paper, including style, spelling and punctuation.
Typesetting with LATEX 3.4. Mathematical typesetting with LATEX Theorem 1 X is normal if, and
only if, each pair of disjoint closed sets in X is completely separated. Strive to clarity. Move material
around to achieve the best logical order. Assign them titles, like Figure 5-1 or Table 5-1, for
reference. In future examples we will not explicitly display the commands that select document class
and delimit the start and end of the document. The results obtained and the pertinent information
collected, do you need anything else before starting to write? Perhaps. This prevents unwanted extra
space from entering your document. So the italic correction is always left up to the typist. We present
short FORTRAN and C codes that produce the data in Maple’s style. In the case of a last report, the
student(s) may be given an incomplete grade and be required to return to campus for a follow-up
interview. The last section — Conclusion, or Concluding Remarks, contains a brief summary of the
findings of your report. Put Behind in place of Supporting — and the title becomes acceptable.
Rules of conduct. You are strongly encouraged to read and heed the university’s policy concerning
the appropriate use of campus computers. Display an important formula by centering it on a line by
itself, and give a reference number in the margin if it is especially important or if you need to refer to
it. TEX’s secret is that it waits until you have typed the whole document before it typesets a single
thing.
