LaTeX resources
This page will provide links to LaTeX resources so that our students can create theses, dissertations, and paper manuscripts in LaTeX without too much difficulty.
For MS Thesis
You will want to download the MS thesis class file, a sample thesis, a sample bibliography file, and a sample figure.
For SPE Papers
The file SPE.zip includes some LaTeX material to assist in the preparation of papers for proceedings at SPE meetings. This file contains the style file (SPE.sty), the SPE logo (SPEInt.pdf) and one example file (SPE_Template.tex) that can be modified easily .
In general, if you find that you need a style or class file for LaTeX, it is probably best to go to the CTAN site to ensure that you get the most recent version. I have, however, placed a few style files that we use regularly, or that are needed for the dissertation and thesis class here.
- secsty.sty
A style file that modifies the sectioning commands. I used it in the utulsa thesis class. - ulem.sty
Allows longer sections of text to be underlined. Used in the utulsa. thesis style. - vmargin.sty
A nice package for setting margins.
