Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the formatting and structuring of a "mini-thesis" using Texnicenter and Miktex. Participants are seeking advice on the best practices for organizing their document, including specific preferences regarding the numbering of theorems and definitions.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the best format for a mini-thesis, expressing a preference for a structure that includes sections for an introduction and chapters, without numbering theorems and definitions.
  • Another participant suggests that the format may depend on the submission requirements of the university, referencing a resource that outlines useful LaTeX packages for thesis writing.
  • A different participant recommends using the IEEEtran class for formatting, mentioning options for layout and suggesting the use of macros or other packages to achieve the desired formatting for theorems and definitions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on a specific format or approach, as multiple suggestions and preferences are presented without agreement on a single solution.

Contextual Notes

Participants have noted that the formatting requirements may vary based on university guidelines, which could influence the choice of structure and packages used in LaTeX.

Hello

I have to start writing a "mini-thesis" and I want to know what's the best format for the file. I work with Texnicenter on Miktex (i hope i spelled it correctly). I need a structure with sections for an introduction and different chapters. I would prefer one that didn't attribute numbers to theorems and definitions.

I will use this topic throughout the rest of the semester to solve my latex problems, in order not to create multiple topics for the same purpose.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi ModusPonens, :)

I have never wrote a thesis but I have written some project reports using LaTeX. For that I referred the following article. It has all the useful packages that you can use when writing a thesis, however I believe the exact format of your thesis will depend on where you submit it. For example if you are submitting the thesis for your university they surely would have a specific format that you should follow.

Thank you. That seems like an awsome resource. :)

You can use the IEEEtran class. Then you have options such as two column, conference, and think there are two more. As for not numbering theorems and definitions, you can define mdframed for theorems and definitions with a macro and then use that to call your theorem or definition environment. If you don't want mdframed, there are other packages you could use to get whatever result you desire.
