| - | Here are some dissertation templates following UC Davis formatting requirements. | + | There are several websites dedicated to <a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/thesis/">Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis</a>. But since you're in the UC Davis math department, your best bet is to use a template that was specifically created for UC Davis math students. Here is a very nice template created by Tyrell McAllister, and updated in 2015 by Jeff Irion (with minor changes in order to conform to the format that the Office of Graduate Studies requires):</p> |

| - | <p><b>Using the templates below (with the exception of the template by Tyrrell McAllister), you might find a problem with the page number (or lack thereof) on the first page of the biblography when using BibTeX. Grad Studies requires a page number in the upper right corner. To fix this: | + | |
| - | <ul> | + | |
| - | <li>Take the BBL file that comes from running BibTeX and manually paste this at the end of your LaTeX file and recompile. (Note that you have to undo the whole thing to recompile the biblography.)</li> | + | |
| - | <li>Even better (just discovered by Tyler Skorczewski), use the \thispagestyle{fancy} and rhead{\thepage} commands on the biblography page.</li> | + | |

| + | <p><b><i>Once you pass your Qual, download the dissertation template!</i></b> Fill in some basic info (name, major, committee members' names, etc.), and add to your dissertation while you work on your research. After all, it's easier to write and cite as you go than to do it months/years later when that stuff isn't fresh in your mind.</p> | ||
