MU-compliant Thesis style files

Congratulations! You're ready to write your dissertation. But how are you supposed to keep up with all the graduate school's requirements on style, format etc... If you are used to writing your papers in TeX/LaTeX, then read on. Relief is just a download away.

What is available here?

  • LaTeX2e style files

These small text files contain all the information needed by the LaTeX typesetter to format your document in a manner consistent with the guidelines of the Graduate School.

These style files from Stefan Georghiou's PhD thesis which he adapted from the style files provided by Stanford University.  These style files are released under the GPL license and as such are free for use. That is you may modify them in any way you wish, but that should not be necessary since as of the time of this writing they have twice passed the test by fire. Drs Yunong Qi and Shashi Pathak have successfully submited their PhD Dissertations using these same style files.

  • LyX style files

Same as above, but for the LyX word processor.

  • Documentation on how to use them

See the INSTALL file under the main directory.

  • Some useful links
  • MikTex: Popular version of LaTeX for windows-based computers.
  • WinEdt: A powerful windows text editor tailored to work with MikTeX.
  • CTAN: CTAN provides the most complete and up-to-date TeX-related software.
  • LyX: A totally different breed of word processor. Check it out, it's well worth the time. Just take the graphical tour. The screenshots speak for themselves.
