\section{Getting started}
|
| 5 |
|
|
|
| 6 |
|
|
This is the introductory chapter. This will give you some
|
| 7 |
|
|
ideas on how to use \LaTeX~\cite{lam1994} to typeset your document.
|
| 8 |
|
|
Here is a sample quote using the \verb+\munquote+ environment:
|
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
\begin{munquote}[~\cite{lam1994}]%
|
| 11 |
|
|
\LaTeX{} is a system for typesetting documents. Its first widely
|
| 12 |
|
|
available version, mysteriously numbered 2.09, appeared in 1985. \LaTeX{}
|
| 13 |
|
|
is now extremely popular in the scientific and academic communities, and
|
| 14 |
|
|
it is used extensively in industry. It has become a \emph{lingua franca}
|
| 15 |
|
|
of the scientific world; scientists send their papers electronically to
|
| 16 |
|
|
colleagues around the world in the form of \LaTeX{} input.%
|
| 17 |
|
|
\end{munquote}
|
| 18 |
|
|
|
| 19 |
|
|
The citation at the end is optional --- if you don't need it,
|
| 20 |
|
|
then use \verb+\munquote+ without any arguments:
|
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
\begin{munquote}%
|
| 23 |
|
|
Here is a quote that does not have an associated citation
|
| 24 |
|
|
after it. You can specify the citation before or after the
|
| 25 |
|
|
quote manually.%
|
| 26 |
|
|
\end{munquote}
|
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
By default, all text is double spaced, however, quotes and footnotes
|
| 29 |
|
|
must be singled spaced.\munfootnote{This is a single spaced footnote.
|
| 30 |
|
|
SGS requires that footnotes be singled spaced and this can be done with
|
| 31 |
|
|
the \texttt{$\backslash$munfootnote} command.} The left margin is slightly
|
| 32 |
|
|
wider than the right margin. This is to compensate for binding.
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
An example mathematical formulae is show in
|
| 35 |
|
|
Equation~\ref{eqn:sum}.
|
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
\begin{muneqn}{sum}
|
| 38 |
|
|
\sum_{i = 0}^{n} i^2
|
| 39 |
|
|
\end{muneqn}
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
A slightly more complicated equation is given in Equation~\ref{eqn:schrodinger}:
|
| 42 |
|
|
\munfootnote{Equation taken from the \textsl{Schr\"{o}dinger equation}
|
| 43 |
|
|
entry on \textsl{Wikipedia}}
|
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
\begin{muneqn}{schrodinger}
|
| 46 |
|
|
i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi(x,\,t)=
|
| 47 |
|
|
-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2\Psi(x,\,t) + V(x)\Psi(x,\,t)
|
| 48 |
|
|
\end{muneqn}
|
| 49 |
|

|
\section{Cross References}
|
| 51 |
|
|
\label{sec:xrefs}
|
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
In addition to using \verb+\ref+ to refer to equations, you can also use
|
| 54 |
|
|
it (in conjunction with the \verb+\label+ command) to refer to sections
|
| 55 |
|
|
and chapters without hard coding the numbers themselves. For example,
|
| 56 |
|
|
this is Section~\ref{sec:xrefs} of Chapter~\ref{chap:intro}. You can
|
| 57 |
|
|
also refer to Appendix~\ref{apdx:somelabel}, Subsection~\ref{sec:nested}
|
| 58 |
|
|
below or any other place that has a \verb+\label+. You can also use
|
| 59 |
|
|
labels to refer to a page. For example, Chapter~\ref{chap:figtab}
|
| 60 |
|
|
starts on page~\pageref{chap:figtab}.
|
| 61 |
|
|
|
| 62 |
|
|
\section{Some Suggestions}
|
| 63 |
|
|
|
| 64 |
|
|
Here are a few recommendations:
|
| 65 |
|
|
|
| 66 |
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
| 67 |
|
|
\item Before using this template, make sure you check with
|
| 68 |
|
|
your supervisor.
|
| 69 |
|
|
\item MUN's library provides electronic access to some \LaTeX{}
|
| 70 |
|
|
related textbooks which can be read online. Use
|
| 71 |
|
|
the search term \texttt{latex (computer file)} on the
|
| 72 |
|
|
Library's web page.
|
| 73 |
|
|
\item If you run into a problem, Google may be a helpful resource.
|
| 74 |
|
|
\item Concentrate on content, let \LaTeX{} handle the typesetting.
|
| 75 |
|
|
\item Don't worry about warnings related to:
|
| 76 |
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
| 77 |
|
|
\item overfull \texttt{hboxes}/\texttt{boxes}
|
| 78 |
|
|
\item underfull \texttt{hboxes}/\texttt{vboxes}
|
| 79 |
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
| 80 |
|
|
These can be corrected with modest rewording of your text prior
|
| 81 |
|
|
to submission of your final copy.
|
| 82 |
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
| 83 |
|
|
|
| 84 |
|
|
\section{The \texttt{Makefile}}
|
| 85 |
|
|
|
| 86 |
|
|
You can use \texttt{make} to ``build'' your thesis on the Linux command
|
| 87 |
|
|
line\munfootnote{Linux is available on all machines running LabNet in
|
| 88 |
|
|
\textsl{The Commons} and in other computer labs on campus.} This will
|
| 89 |
|
|
automatically run the \texttt{bibtex} program to create your bibliography
|
| 90 |
|
|
and will also re-run \texttt{latex} as necessary to ensure that all
|
| 91 |
|
|
references are resolved. A device independent file (\texttt{thesis.dvi})
|
| 92 |
|
|
will be created, by default. If you are using this template in another
|
| 93 |
|
|
environment other than the Linux command line, then the \texttt{Makefile}
|
| 94 |
|
|
will probably not be useful to you.
|
| 95 |
|
|
|
| 96 |
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
| 97 |
|
|
\item To make a PostScript copy of your thesis, type the following
|
| 98 |
|
|
at the command line:
|
| 99 |
|
|
|
| 100 |
|
|
\texttt{make thesis.ps}
|
| 101 |
|
|
|
| 102 |
|
|
\item To generate a PDF copy of your thesis, run:
|
| 103 |
|
|
|
| 104 |
|
|
\texttt{make thesis.pdf}
|
| 105 |
|
|
|
| 106 |
|
|
\item To generate a PDF/A-1b copy of your thesis (which should
|
| 107 |
|
|
satisfy the SGS's ethesis submission requirements):
|
| 108 |
|
|
|
| 109 |
|
|
\texttt{make ethesis.pdf}
|
| 110 |
|
|
|
| 111 |
|
|
\item To remove all the files generated by \texttt{bibtex} and
|
| 112 |
|
|
\texttt{latex}, use the command:
|
| 113 |
|
|
|
| 114 |
|
|
\texttt{make clean}
|
| 115 |
|
|
|
| 116 |
|
|
\item To remove the intermediate files, but leave the PostScript
|
| 117 |
|
|
and DVI/PDF files intact, use the command:
|
| 118 |
|
|
|
| 119 |
|
|
\texttt{make neat}
|
| 120 |
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
| 121 |
|
|
|
| 122 |
|
|
As you add or remove figures, chapters, or appendices to your thesis,
|
| 123 |
|
|
make sure you keep the \texttt{Makefile} upto date, too (see the
|
| 124 |
|
|
\texttt{FIGURES} and \texttt{FILES} macros in the \texttt{Makefile}).

|
| 132 |
|
|
\emph{emphasized text},
