hello and welcome to this course in this short course you will learn how to make
theses in latex so this could be an it assist from another graduate thesis to
master our PhD thesis because essentially all thesis components are
same a thesis should have an abstract it should have an table of content and
there should be some acknowledgment or a dedication and similarly a list of
figures list of tables and references and also the appendices so these are the
essential components of any thesis so in this class we will learn how to make
this thesis in later this is not a little beginner course because we will
not be talking about the basic elements of let occur how to programming later
how to write a document in latex we will only be focusing on what to make up PhD
thesis or a master or undergraduate thesis immolated so how to arrange all
these components what are the attributes of these
components and how to adjust different type setting things in this thesis so
this is the focus of this class if you want to learn basic components of lists
latech then there is another course which is catalytic the first course so
you can attend that course and in this course what I will start is from a basic
structure of the thesis and how to arrange different chapters in separate
text files and how to combine those that file in one single main file and then we
will discuss how to arrange the appendices and groceries and acronyms
and all this type of things so if you are interested in learning how to make a
thesis then you should attend this course the problem is there is a lot of
information available online above the latex the latent documentation is very
well organized but students don't need this much information because this will
waste their time to learn all this type of information and to master all these
packages so our approach will be trying to focus on what is required and only
tell the students how to make your thesis so first I will introduce the
structure of a thesis elated and then we go from there and put all the components
in in that thesis at the end of this course you will get a tech point and who
can quickly use the tech file as your template and just put your own stuff in
that and your TA will be ready in no time so this is the simple thesis which
we are trying to make here so we have a title of the thesis then a subtitle the
name and what type of thesis is this then we have date and the University
where you are submitting this thesis then there is a dedication page then
this is the page for abstract then we have table of contents so in this you
can see that we are going section and up to the subsection so we have chapter and
then section and a subsection so we will include two chapter in these theses
this is second chapter and then appendices so there are two appendices
Appendix A and Appendix B in Appendix A we don't have any name of the appendix
the title of the appendix and in B we have the title which is the glossaries
and acronyms so you will see how to make this difference then there are
references or you can put bibliography here if you like then we have lists of
figures so we will use three types of figures in this thesis so single figure
then a sub figure and then a rad figure so these are three different types of
figures we will use then we have tables so a simple table with some text and
then a table with some math inside so these two tables I will demonstrate here
so this is our first chapter so as you can see that this page has certain
characteristic it does not have any header it doesn't have any footer and
from the second page onward we have the number of the chapter and then the title
of the chapter then we have page numbers at the bottom starting from page two
then this is the first style of the figure in which we have a figure in the
center of the paragraph then a simple table in which we have some text and
then we have math environments and actually I have put nearly all the melt
math environments in this file so that you can use any of these math and
wireman --ts and I will not be discussing how these environments work
because that is another which you can take another class in
which I teach all these how these mathematics work but in this we will
just put this math here so these are all math environments then this is about
chapter two in this chapter we are putting a figure inside a paragraph on
the right hand side so this is called wrap figure then we have another table
in which there are some math commands as you can say that it's something is in
the under script and superscript situation and here we have two figures
side by side so this is called sub figure so this is our appendix a there
is no title for this appendix the word appendix and a and you can pour some
extra information here then we have appendix B which is for glossaries and
acronyms and we have two sections here so acronyms are the abbreviations based
on the first letter of each word and then we have the bibliography or the
references so all these things as you can see are also available in table of
contents so here we have changed the name of the bibliography into references
so I'll show you how to change this name or you can put any name here so this was
a brief introduction of what we are going to learn in this class if you
think that this class is suitable for you so please enroll in this class and I
will see you inside the class
