Document class thesis

To do this we use the \appendix command to tell LaTeX that what follows are appendices. Again We'll write the appendix in a separate file and then input it. If we now compile the document, all our chapters will be added to the document and the table of contents will be automatically generated. Now we have a basic structure for a thesis set up.

Very simply you can use it just like the standard book class, which is a good starting point for a thesis, but it also includes many commonly desired extensions and enhancements which are there if you want them. I admit that the documentation is long but you only have to read the portions that are relevant to you.

I used memoir as the backbone of my thesis. It worked great, but it might be a bit much for a beginner. If you really want to use it to its potential (and if you don't, you probably don't need it, and the default classes make more sense), studying at least some parts of the manual is probably required.

When your thesis will be finished, you could use beamer documentclass to create the presentation for its defense. For any problem, we are here to help. If you have no time to learn and you are full of doubt, just use Word (even if LaTeX is MUCH better).
