% A Sample Thesis for the University of Calgary % ============================================= % This is a sample LaTeX document to build a University of Calgary % graduate thesis according to the guidelines of the Faculty of % Graduate Studies, available here: % https://grad.ucalgary.ca/current-students/thesis-based-students/thesis/building-thesis % To use this sample for your own thesis, rename this file, make any % changes necessary, then add the content of your thesis to the % included files frontmatter.tex, chapter1.tex, etc. % First, we load the UCalgary Memoir Thesis class ucalgmthesis, % available at https://github.com/rzach/ucalgmthesis % This class in turn loads the memoir class for book design. All its % commands and options are available to you. See % https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir % By default (without options), the class produces a 1-1/2 spaced % thesis in 11 point font without running heads. See the README file % for a description of all package options. % In our sample we give three options: Option "utopia" sets the thesis % in a nice font: Utopia in this case. Other font options are "times", % "garamond", "palatino", and "libertine". Try them out to see what % you like best. If you do not provide a font option, the thesis is % set in LaTeX's standard Computer Modern font. % Option "headers" produces running heads. % Option "manuscript" formats the page in a way suitable for reading % and commenting: 12 pt type, double spaced, approx. 25 lines per % page, with approx. 72 characters per line. For filing in the Vault, % remove that option to produce a more compact thesis with a slightly % better layout. \documentclass[utopia,headers,manuscript]{ucalgmthesis} % We'll need some colored links, so we load xcolor and hyperref. But % you can take that out if you don't want links at all. \usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor} % microtype makes everything look better \usepackage{microtype} % The hyperref package produces hyperlinks in your document. \usepackage{hyperref} % You can turn off the boxes around links made by hyperref. Then links % will appear in a different color, and per guidelines, all links must % be blue or black. For blue links say \hypersetup{colorlinks,allcolors=MidnightBlue} % For black (hidden) links, replace the above with: %\hypersetup{hidelinks} % Note that per UCalgary's thesis guidelines, links must be blue or % black. % If you prefer hyperref's boxes around links (which don't print), you % can also change their color. With boxes around links, you probably % don't want everything in the table of contents to be a link, so we % only make the page numbers links. This is done by using the % following command instead: % \hypersetup{allbordercolors=Periwinkle,linktocpage} % The table of contents in your PDF reader's sidebar is just titles by % default, but it's nice to also have chapter and section numbers for % easy navigation. \usepackage[numbered]{bookmark} % Using LaTeX? Then you're probably using math, and so you want to use % the AMS math commands and define some theorem environments! But you % can take these out or use your own favorite theorem package. \usepackage{amsmath,amsthm} \newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[chapter] % let's number things by chapter \theoremstyle{definition} \newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition} % please number all of them together! % For author-year references, you probably want to use natbib with a % bibliography style appropriate for your discipline; or check out % biblatex! \usepackage[round]{natbib} \bibliographystyle{plainnat} % The blindtext package produces the ``lorem ipsum'' % texts in this sample and can safely be removed. \usepackage{blindtext} % Now we put in the information for the thesis title page. % Full Name \author{Jane Mary Doe} % Full Title \title{An Important Contribution to the Literature} % Official name of the degree \degree{Doctor of Philosophy} % The full name of the graduate program (not the department!). For % interdisciplinary degrees, the home graduate program is listed % first, followed by the word "and," then the other graduate program % is listed \prog{Graduate Program in Philosophy} % The month (for the final version: when you file, not when you defended) \monthname{May} % The year \thesisyear{2023} % Tell hyperref to put author and title into the PDF metadata \hypersetup{pdfinfo={Title={\thetitle},Author={\theauthor}}} % If you want memoir to produce endnotes, turn them on here \makepagenote % Often you only want to output a single chapter so you can send it to % your supervisor. Use includeonly and make sure everything you don't % always want compiled to PDF is include'd from a separate file. For % instance, to produce a PDF only of chapter 1, endnotes and % bibliography, say % \includeonly{chapter1,backmatter} % To compile only the title page, which you need when submitting your % thesis, say % \includeonly{titlepage} % and then copy the resulting PDF to a separate file. % Memoir by default numbers document divisions from sections up. If % you want subsections numbered as well, uncomment the following line: % \maxsecnumdepth{subsection} \begin{document} \frontmatter % titlepage.tex just makes the titlepage; it's in its own file so you % can typeset it alone using includeonly. \include{titlepage} % frontmatter.tex contains the abstract, preface, acknowledgments, and % the commands to produce the table of contents, list of tables, etc. \include{frontmatter} % The main matter of the thesis contains the actual content, separated % into chapters. \mainmatter \include{chapter1} \include{chapter2} % The back matter includes commands to produce endnotes, index, % glossary, bibliography, and the like. \backmatter \include{backmatter} % The appendix contains material that would clutter up the main text, % such as program code, survey instruments, or interview transcripts. % Remove it if you don't have an appendix. \appendix \include{appendix} \end{document}
