clean-math-thesis

Typst thesis template for mathematical theses built for simple, efficient use and a clean look. Of course, it can also be used for other subjects, but the following math-specific features are already contained in the template:

• theorems, lemmas, corollaries, proofs etc. prepared using great-theorems
• equation settings (using either equate for numbering of subequations or i-figured for equation numbering which includes the chapter number)
• pseudocode package lovelace included.

Additionally, it has headers built with hydra.

Set-Up

The template is already filled with dummy data, to give users an impression how it looks like. The thesis is obtained by compiling main.typ.

• after installing Typst you can conveniently use the following to create a new folder containing this project.

typst init @preview/clean-math-thesis:0.2.0

• edit the data in main.typ → #show template.with([your data])

Parameters of the Template

personal/subject related information

• author: Name of the author of the thesis.
• title: Title of the thesis.
• supervisor1: Name of the first supervisor.
• supervisor2: Name of the second supervisor.
• degree: Degree for which the thesis is submitted.
• program: Program under which the thesis is submitted.
• university: Name of the university.
• institute: Name of the institute.
• deadline: Submission deadline of the thesis.

file paths for logos etc.

• uni-logo: Image, e.g. image("images/logo_placeholder.svg", width: 50%)
• institute-logo: Image.

formatting settings

• citation-style: Citation style to be used in the thesis.
• body-font: Font to be used for the body text.
• cover-font: Font to be used for the cover text.

content that needs to be placed differently then normal chapters

• abstract: Content for the abstract section.

equation settings

• equate-settings: either none -> use i-figured; or tuple with the settings for the equations (see docs), e.g. (breakable: true, sub-numbering: true, number-mode: “label”) The switching between these is currently not optimal: i-figured needs a prefix (eq:) so if we label an equation like <equation> the corresponding reference is @eq:equation and for equate we don’t have this prefix, i.e. the reference would be @equation in this example. This is something to be improved in future releases.
• equation-numbering-pattern: specify the numbering of the equations. The second counting symbol (e.g. the a in "(1.a)") is either used for subequation numbering or for the numbering of equations in the chapters. colors
• cover-color: Color used for the cover.
• heading-color: Color used for headings.
• link-color: Color used for links and references.

Other Customizations

• declaration.typ should be modified
• when adding chapters, remember to include them into the main.typ.
• (optional) change colors and appearance of the theorem environment in the customization/-folder.

Use of the template in existing projects

If you want to change an existing typst project structure to use this template, just type the following lines

#import "@preview/clean-math-thesis:0.1.0": template

#show: template.with(
  // your user specific data, parameters explained above
)

#include "my_content.typ"  // and eventually more files

Disclaimer

This template was created after Sebastian finished his master’s thesis. We do not guarantee that it will be accepted by any university, please clarify in advance if it fulfills all requirements. If not, this template might still be a good starting point.

Acknowledgements

As inspiration on how to structure this template, we used the modern-unito-thesis template. The design is inspired by the fau-book template.
