Build Status

A clear and easy to use template for academic thesis optimized for materials science students using TeX.

Purpose

TeX is a beautiful language that is perfect for academic thesis writing especially for STEM fields. However, there is a little bit of a learning curve for new TeX users and students spend a lot of time setting up an appropriate tex style for their needs and the installation of the required tex packages which can become tedious and messy. This repository provides an easy to use, tested, and well documented template for such users which can be easily adapted.

Structure of this repository

The source folder contains all the necessary tex files. The thesis.tex is the main tex file that needs to be compiled and thesis.bib is the bibliography file where all bibtex entries are put. The commands.tex file contains all new command definitions, document setting, and the list of packages to be used. The figures folder is supposed to contain all the figures. The main text of your thesis is supposed to be put in the chapters folder.

Documentation

Unlike regular programming languages, it's a little cumbersome to provide documentation for TeX files. So comments starting with the % symbol are useful to understand what's going on.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to Felix Lochner for help with biblatex formats and Jan Janssen for help with continuous integration.
