\documentclass[defaultstyle,12pt]{thesis}
% ---- Math & symbols ----
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
% ---- Body font ----------------------------------------------------
% The SBU Graduate School guidelines RECOMMEND Times New Roman or
% Arial as the body font. LaTeX defaults to Computer Modern, which
% is widely accepted in technical theses but is NOT on the recommended
% list. To switch the body text (and math) to a Times-like font that
% IS on the list, uncomment ONE of the two options below.
% Leave both commented to keep Computer Modern.
%
% Option A (modern package, matched math, well maintained):
% \usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
%
% Option B (older package, lighter, slightly different math spacing):
% \usepackage{mathptmx}
%
% How to use:
% 1. Pick ONE option line above.
% 2. Remove the leading "% " so the \usepackage line is active.
% 3. Recompile (pdflatex main && pdflatex main; or Overleaf "Recompile").
% 4. Open the PDF and check page 1-2: body should look like Times.
% 5. If equations look cramped or symbols change unexpectedly,
% switch to the other option (re-comment the first, uncomment the
% other).
% 6. To revert to Computer Modern, re-comment both lines.
