Writing a Mini-Thesis to Format and Structure | Texnicenter and Miktex

[ModusPonens]

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.

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.

I understand the importance of having a clear and organized structure for your thesis. The format and structure of your mini-thesis will greatly impact its readability and overall impact. I would recommend following the standard format for scientific papers, which typically includes an introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion sections.

In terms of using Texnicenter and Miktex, both are popular tools for writing in LaTeX and offer various features for formatting and organizing your document. I suggest exploring the options and templates available in both programs to find the structure that best suits your needs.

Additionally, if you prefer not to use numbers for theorems and definitions, you can customize your document's formatting to exclude them. This can be done through the use of packages or by manually adjusting the settings in your document. Again, I recommend exploring the options available in Texnicenter and Miktex to find the best solution for your specific needs.

Lastly, as you continue writing your mini-thesis, I recommend using this topic as a reference to address any LaTeX-related issues you may encounter. This will help keep your work organized and prevent the need for multiple topics on the same subject.

I wish you the best of luck with your mini-thesis and hope that these suggestions will help you create a well-structured and visually appealing document. Happy writing!
