This template is used to make this thesis.
Use the provided Makefile to compile the text and the separate Makefile in the src/figures folder to compile the figures.
In case it does not compile, you are likely missing the Minion Pro and Myriad Pro fonts.
You can compile those on your machine using FontPro.
It is quite a hassle though, so you can also comment out the Myriad Pro and Minion Pro fonts in mitthesis.cls and instead use the Palatino fonts (these are currently commented in mitthesis.cls).
Make sure you update the preamble for the figures as well, and update the text in the colophon (if you choose to use it).
To customize it for your case, make sure to update your name and title in the following places:
- PDF metadata in
thesis.tex - Title page, abstract in
mitthesis.cls(as well as adding your committee's info, bio info, etc.) - Title and name on last page of doc in
thesis.tex
