Brief Description
Have you ever read the University’s regulations on the format of MPhil and PhD thesis? A set of LaTeX macros has been prepared that fit the University’s requirements. Having already acquired basic skills of type-setting a LaTeX document, you will be able to practise using the templates and make your thesis type-setting a simple task. The process of thesis creation could be as easy as typing in the text, inserting the figures (image files prepared separately in PostScript format), formatting the tables as well as including the references, with everything from the title page, acknowledgements, contents, to bibliography tailored to fit the requirements. The talk will be particularly useful for graduating postgraduates.
