Writing Your Doctoral Thesis

Note: What appears below, with permission, is a slightly edited version of unofficial advice from MGSA, the UC Berkeley Mathematics Graduate Student Associate, with Berkeley specific information removed. Information specific to filing a doctoral thesis at UC Davis can be found via the Office of Graduate Studies Website.

LaTeX dissertation templates

Here are some dissertation templates following UC Davis formatting requirements. There are also several websites dedicated to Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis.
thesis_template.tex This is a simple thesis template using the amsart class
ucd_dissertation_template.tex

lorem_ipsum.tex
This is a more sophisticated doctoral thesis template using the book class, with lorem_ipsum.tex included so that the page formatting can easily be seen when just compiling the template itself. To use this template, download both files into the same directory, and then edit the one called ucd_dissertation_template.tex.
Dissertation_Template.zip This is a very nice dissertation template put together by our very own Tyrrell McAllister.
