The CSU Northridge Masters Thesis L A T E X 2ε class
Jeff Wiegley · 2006
L ATEX2 is a professional document typesetting program. It is a commonly accepted document preparation system used, or recognized, by most of the mathematic and scientific disciplines. L ATEX’s ability to handle and typeset mathematical equations properly and with minimum effort is outstanding. Its knowledge and implementation of professional typesetting rules and behaviors is second to none. The biggest advantage over alternative document applications is that L ATEX allows an author to ignore document formatting, and concentrate on the intellectual content instead. The CSU Northridge Graduate Evaluator’s office sets strict guidelines regarding the visual appearance and format of graduate theses. The CSUNthesis [10] class file was developed to enable CSU Northridge graduate students to prepare their thesis using L ATEX2 without having to learn the more advanced formatting concepts used to control the details of L ATEX. By using this class file, graduate students need to learn only the basics of L ATEX. The use of this class file also allows graduate students to concentrate on the content of their thesis topic and almost completely ignore the format and layout of the document. The CSUNthesis class file correctly implements all the format requirements of the Graduate Evaluator’s office for the preparation of graduate theses, projects and abstracts as presented in the Guidelines for the preparation of theses, graduate projects and artistic abstracts [8] Please: Report any mistakes or problems with the CSUNthesis class file to the class file author at [email protected] so that they may be permanently corrected.
