Template for preparing a thesis or dissertation for the University of North Texas.
This template was originally published on ShareLaTeX and subsequently moved to Overleaf in November 2019.
\documentclass[12pt, titlepage, openany]{amsbook}
%%% Comment or uncomment any or all of the following packages as
%%% necessary. TeX will run faster the fewer packages it has to load...
%%% You can/should load any other packages you need, but be aware that
%%% packages can and do modify style parameters, some packages are
%%% incompatible with other packages, and some packages have requirements
%%% about whether or not they have to be loaded before or after other
%%% packages.
%%% The standard AMS math packages
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb, amsthm}
%%% For diagrams and "pics." Tikz is probably a better choice...
\usepackage[all]{xy}
%%% For hyperrefs, breaklinks might cause problems (or not really help with
%%% long hyperrefs...)
% Uncomment the follwing two lines and change "allcolors=black" to
% "allcolors=untgreen" to get UNT branded green hyperlinks
%\usepackage{color}
%\definecolor{untgreen}{RGB}{5,144,51}
\usepackage{aliascnt}
\usepackage[colorlinks, linktocpage, allcolors=black,%
breaklinks]{hyperref}
%%% One option for complicated tables and arrays
%\usepackage{array}
%%% One option for including graphics
%\usepackage{graphicx}
%%% Uncomment the following line to get the computer modern equivalent of
%%% ``arial.'' Probably doing so will alter line breaks throughout the
%%% document...
%\usepackage{cmbright}
%%% Uncomment the following line if line spacing is funky when the last line
%%% is uncommented.
%\usepackage[standard-baselineskip]{cmbright}
%%%%%%%%%%% preamble stuff ...
%%% This loads the main style file.
\input{UNTdissertation.sty}
%%% Make your own macros and put them in macros.tex.
\input{macros}
%%% Uncomment the following line and add the basename of the chapter file
%%% (for example chapter1 for chapter1.tex) to have LaTeX process only
%%% chapter 1. This probably isn't as relevant now as it was when computers
%%% had slower processers and less memory, but if you are running tex on
%%% your smartphone, it might come in handy
%\includeonly{chapter1}

\frontmatter
%%% Things for the title page ...
\title{Sample UNT Dissertation with \\ a two line title}
\author{Big Matt D., A.B., CD, EF}
\degree{Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of\\ DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY}
\degreedate{May 2005}
\approved{Wild Bill Hickock, Major Professor\\
Calamity Jane, Minor Professor\\
Billy the Kid, Committee Member and\\
\hspace{36pt} Famous Outlaw\\
Robert B. Toulouse, Erstwhile Dean \\
\hspace{36pt} of the Toulouse Graduate School}
%%% This makes the title page ...
\maketitle
%%% The copyright page ... copyright.tex
\include{copyright}
%%% An acknowledgments page (called acknowledgments.tex). This can be
%%% commented out if there are no acknowledgments.
\include{acknowledgments}
%%% This makes the table of contents.
\tableofcontents
%%% Uncomment the following to generate lists of tables or figures.
\listoftables
%\listoffigures
%%% Now for the actual dissertation -- the mainmatter.
\mainmatter
%%% This helps LaTeX to break a display across two pages in some
%%% circumstances. If it's commented out, the number of underful pages will
%%% probably go up (and the text will be distributed evenly on the
%%% underfilled pages, not pushed to the top).
\allowdisplaybreaks
%%% Include the chapters here.
\include{chapter1}
\include{chapter2}
%\include{chapter3}
%\include{chapter4}
%%% Uncomment if there are appendices. This command sets some things up in
%%% preparation for the actual appendices.
\appendix
%%% Include appendix "chapters" here. A single appendix should start with
%%% \appchapter*{TITLE} rather than \chapter{TITLE}. This supresses the
%%% numbering (if there is only one appendix it doesn't rate a number). If
%%% there is more than one appendix, use \appchapter to get numbered
%%% appendices (A, B, C, ...).
\include{appendix}
%%% This starts the backmatter, which so far is only the bibliography.
\backmatter
%%% This modifies some bits of the amsplain bibliography style to conform
%%% with UNT/TGS requirements.
\bibliographystyle{UNTamsplain}
%%% Include the .bib file containing the bibliographic information (in
%%% BiBTeX format...). ``bibliography.bib'' is a descriptive name for a
%%% bibliography file in BiBTeX format.
\bibliography{bibliography}
%%% That's all folks!
