SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on formatting and structuring a mini-thesis using Texnicenter and Miktex. Users recommend the IEEEtran class for its versatility, including options for two-column layouts and conference formats. To avoid numbering theorems and definitions, participants suggest defining custom macros or utilizing the mdframed package. The conversation emphasizes the importance of adhering to specific university submission guidelines for thesis formatting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document preparation system
  • Understanding of Texnicenter and Miktex tools
  • Knowledge of LaTeX packages such as mdframed
  • Awareness of university-specific thesis formatting requirements
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the IEEEtran class documentation for thesis formatting options
  • Learn how to define custom macros in LaTeX for theorem and definition environments
  • Research additional LaTeX packages that can assist with formatting requirements
  • Review university guidelines for thesis submission to ensure compliance
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and academics preparing a mini-thesis or similar documents using LaTeX, particularly those using Texnicenter and Miktex for formatting and structuring their work.

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.
