My thank to www.overleaf.com for sponsoring today's video. I've used them for years prior to being sponsored and their cloud based LaTeX editor has so many useful free or premium features that just makes it easier to write a thesis.
Overleaf is da bomb. I can edit my documents on my PC, my MacBook, someone else’s PC or Mac, or my iPad! I’m supposed to be starting a Level 7 Apprenticeship in Data Science later this year. Prepping for that has highlighted that I’ve forgotten pretty much all of the statistics I learned back in the 1980s and early 90s (I graduated in Biochemistry in 1993). Taking the principle that the best way to learn is to try to teach, I’m writing up what I’m learning in the form of a textbook in LaTeX.
Ulimate tip: Get the tex-file from somebody who recently published his thesis. Keep all the layout-config issues, try to successful run it on your tex system, just fill it with your content - in case you are not sure how to write a nice table, exotic equation, etc. there is a good chance your colleague already figured it out, otherwise it is 5min of google it.
@@KT-dj4iyThe problem is, that every university has different regulations, sometime you have differences between different departments. Google wont help here. The safest way is to get the source file of a "good" thesis that is not older then 2-3 yrs.
Wrote my thesis two years ago...and it's funny how much similar my latex is built up. Few tips after reviewing my latex document, feel free to use them (I know some of them might be included in upcoming videos): - I recommend making a folder for each chapter and it this folder a figures/images/whatever folder together with the tex file of the chapter. This way it's easier to preview images for a certain chapter. Otherwise the list gets so long you can search for a long time searching for a particular file name. Also it allows to easily extract a single chapter if you want to include it into another document (e.g. if your start with your PhD afterwards and a chapter of your thesis will be a chapter of your PhD as well). -Make at least two versions of compilable documents, one for publishing online without empty pages (oneside), and one for printing (twoside, \cleardoublepage after each chapter to get the begin of the chapter always on an odd page). You can normally use the same "main" section and include it in both versions to keep them in sync with the latest version (\cleardoublepage will be ignored for oneside), and the beginning you make different (Documentclass parameters, extra white pages). With this technique of including the same main you can easily make more variations if wanted (e.g. a version with extened abstract and one without, make one for different page sizes, make a black and white variant for alpha versions, etc.) -Use \afterpage{\blankpage} if you want to add blank pages (For printed version handy at some places, you don't want to add blank pages manually and risking to forget this or mess it up or have to do this for each copy you print. Also always include 2 blank pages at once if you print twoside, as this is 1 blank page when printing. -You can use \pagenumbering{gobble} for everything before the main section, this wil be numbered then in Roman numbers. Reset to latin after the table of contents with \setcounter{page}{1}. It's imho nicer when your main book starts again at page 1. -Put your settings and usepackages and similar things in a separate file (it's quite basic in the video, it will get messier often in real life) (and use \include to include it in the mains). The mains will stay very clean this way. -If you get a template for a titlepage of your university in Word and there is not latex template (or you have difficulties with the latex template to be compatible with your latex document for some reason): you can still use it, just make the page, create a pdf of it and include the pdf. The one annoying thing about it is when you have to fill in a date of handing in, then you need to do this last minute...but 9/10 this is the due date you fill in there ;)

For the titlepage custom template: I had a Word version of it, saved as .pdf, cropped the white spaces on the sides using an online free tool, then added in latex as follows: \begin{document} \begin{center} \thispagestyle{empty} %suppress page number \includegraphics[scale=1]{YourTemplate} \afterpage{ ull\thispagestyle{empty}\clearpage} %add a blank page after \end{center}
First year engineering student here. Getting in the habit of using TeX early and my lecturers seem to appreciate it. Sure, it takes a little more effort to finish a write up, but having consistent style throughout everything I do means that when I start revising, I can easily switch between documents and have the same layout. Also, writing equations feels so much more streamlined than say, Microsoft Word.
I had a choice of using Microsoft Word or Latex for my thesis in 1990, 32 years ago. I chose Microsoft Word - it was easier, faster and I don't regret it. The compilation time for Latex was terrible and the effort to view my document was horrendous. My thesis was full of very complex algebra and calculus - the Microsoft formula editor was fantastic and instant. Footnotes, index, cross-references, appendices, formatting, styles : it was all there and easy and obvious. I think it's just like the Apple-Microsoft battle - it's just a choice.
@@idjles in 1992/3 I wrote my final year project in WordPerfect, I’d never heard of LaTeX at the time. I was studying Biochemistry so LaTeX possibly wouldn’t have been as useful as if I’d been studying maths or physics. Were I doing it now I would, however, be using LaTeX due to the number of graphs I had and access to Chemtex for molecular structures. There’s also the fact that now there are a lot of add on tools that pretty much plugin (e.g. Mendeley and Zotero for reference management) and libraries of LaTeX fragments that mean you can pretty much just download stuff that I had to create from scratch.
As a mechanical engineer you already have a leg up on your peers if you know latex! Many don’t and it shows. I have a math degree and I’m undergrad I thought my aeronautical engineer friend to use latex and all of her professors loved her lol
Oooh Man, I turned a blind eye to Latex, after I watched some videos to other instructors.. Once I watched this video, I realized, that I have missed too much.. Thanks so much
I should be done writing my thesis, but here I am three weeks before my defense date, writing and shifting what I have from word to LaTeX. I don't know how I could've completed two years of a master's in physics using just word, but I'm glad that I have this video to get by. Thank you so much, Trefor!
@@PrototypeHQ1 Successfully written and defended! Wasn't my best work, and I wasn't all too happy with the final product, but it's complete and I'm proud of it. I'll live to plan better for my Ph.D. Thanks for asking guys :)
On my university LaTeX was mandatory for master thesis. Our facility even had its own template. At first it quite difficulty, but later on you start to appreciate it. To this day I still use LaTeX for my resume
I did my undergraduate final project in LaTex and I loved it, no headaches with the bibliography or the table of contents or the formulas. I even got an honorable mention! Totally recommend it. (Btw my career is software engineering)
@@ErikaAlejandraGonzalez Oi, Erika! Eu estou tendo muitas dificuldades. Parar a cada momento para pesquisar no Google como se faz um comando é muito estressante. Minha tese já passou das 200 páginas e fui obrigado a comprar uma assinatura de 15 dólares para aumentar o tempo de compilação. A única vantagem que vejo é o fato do LaTex atualizar o sumário, a relação de figuras, etc. AUTOMATICAMENTE. No mais perde-se muito com coisas desnessárias.

@@setherine9071 Great decision! It was great in terms of the bibliography citation, list of contents and esthetically features, such as pagination, margins, etc. Once you get used to LaTex, you realize is much easier than MS Word and you will do everything there haha
Wow! I can't believe how short it is. My meteorology PhD thesis was just over 300 pages long. I guess if you prove something mathematically, you don't need a lot of waffle! I wrote my thesis in Latex, and I thought it was fairly simple. Trying to get figures and captions and references to work in Microsoft Word is horrendous!
Ya it just totally depends what you are doing. Some math PhDs definitely will be far longer, but others not. I have a rather infamous six month portion of my life that contributed to a half page:D
I already know how to use latex but I'm just keeping this for a reference in the near future hahaha BY THE WAY you should do a tutorial with the command tabular, when I do a table with a lot of horizontal values, it looks well... Weird and I would like some tips to make it look better lol
Hello! Thank you so much for this video. I'm glad you're covering this topic at more length. I'm getting a mathematics degree, so I'm sure you can imagine how useful this is for me. Your first video regarding the subject and your great ability to convey meaning was the nail in the coffin for me to actually start learning Latex. Now I'm quite obsessed; I even wrote a presentation (for which, one traditionally uses slides) on Dedekind Cuts using Latex, and it looked more like a paper than a presentation. I have no regrets. On a side note, learning Latex made learning Python more comprehensible for me as I had no prior experience writing "codes" beforehand. My point is, thank you so much for your effort and wonderful teaching. It really did have an impact on someone's academic experience🌻
Nice video, I think for PhD thesis also is important to know how to do figures (histogram, graph ..etc.) in pure latex using pgfplots ..and Gnuplot LATEX.
in my first year of studyung physics (2012) we were shown Latex by the profs in a short seminar to use it to write our essays etc. I haven't seen a single word page ever since. I don't understand a single person not using it.
I got the template from my teacher 4 years ago and since then I always used the same. I even recently wrote my Bachelor’s thesis with the same template.
Thank you so so much, I'm not into computer and coding but you make it really really easy for me to my write my thesis... yours teaching skills are great ..... may Allah bless you and grant you house in jannah... Ameen
Economics student here. I work a lot with statistical and econometric modelling in my term papers and research. Idek why I've never heard of LaTeX. It's much more convenient than MS Office or even Google Docs urggh. LaTeX makes a lot of sense. Writing many mathematical formulas on a MS Word file is such a hassle. Google Docs is even worse
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a 17 year old high school student, and I used this video to write my first math paper (now published preprint via arXiv). Was a huge help as LaTeX seemed really daunting when I first started. I'm now onto my 3rd paper; I can't thank you enough for the introduction!
I've been using LaTeX for years and thought I knew it, but I hadn't used it for large documents before writing my master thesis. Then I ran into quite a few problems and this video thaught me a lot of different nuances that makes the experience a lot smoother.

Thank you so much for this video. I was literally looking for one just three nights ago that shows how to do a thesis from scratch, and not just using templates. This is GREAT!
Thank you very much! You are amazing! Could you please inform me if it is safe to write unpublish papers in overleaf? Thank you in advance and congratulation for the video one more time!
just need to start my BSc Thesis and will go on with an research masters afterwards.. so probably something to look in thanks! btw does it also have a spellchecker for German build in? otherwise I need to fallback to vim and git :P
Omg I am just starting to write my thesis and your video is a lifesaver! Thank you soooo much! :) I have really enjoyed your video and I have learned so much! :D
We have LaTex as an elective course in the Bachelor's programme of physics Major in my University. Initial learning curve is steep for me atleast. I am still struggling a lot but I am still enjoying it given the fact that LaTex gives us full freedom to customize documents and frees is from the limitations of word processors. Just a terminal along with a text editor and document viewer, and I am good to go
The only way I will learn TeX/LaTeX is if somebody PAYS ME for MY time to learn it, and they personally tutor me on it. This should be NO problem for the TeX/LaTeX fanatic, since for THEM spending millions of hours trying to figure out obscure code is a joy for them, rather than click and drag and getting on with the business of actually doing mathematics.
Nice video! One thing I struggled with overleaf is when showing changes after review. Is there anyway to show changes without using the premium version?😅
I believe tracking changes is only a premium feature, but you can always do it the old fashion way of creating many versions of your files, one for each update.
Thank you very much professor I can't tell you how helpful your Latex tutorials are because if I go to search all these things by myself it would be very tough task to get all tricks that you're sharing with us.❤
Hello Sir, I used latex on Windows (Texlive 2019). I am going to change it to MacOS (MacTex last version), But my previous latex in windows cannot run on MacOS. How to fix this problem? Thank you so much.
Hi, first of all a tone of thanks for making this playlist on LATEX. As a beginner I am absolutely able to follow what you are saying. In this part of the video at 13:29 I tried putting a * like so: \include*{Chapter3-Conclusion} --> On compiling the Conclusion section disappears completely. I tried to put a * in the conlusion.tex file like so: \chapter{Conclusion} --> That didnt help either. Could you please let me know the solution?
Everyone, save time and just jump the bla bla bla propaganda about "I love overleaf...etc" because when a video is sponsored in this way does not give any credibility to the youtuber's talking. Just go straight to what matters...
If you have some time to learn and a Unix-like system or WSL go for VIM+Latex+Git. You'll spend some time configuring and learning how to use everything but if you are patient you'll get a powerful tool you can use for free and with a faster flow. And not only for latex, you could use it eventually for any programming language also. A big learning curve but you won't need any other IDE again.
Hi, thank you for sharing your insights!!! My question is how is it possible to make the star in order to get the chapter without numeration on a mac 😂 Thank you for your help
I did everything you did but I am getting errors regarding the \cite{}. No matter what I do, my bibliography page shows nothing and citations are showing like [?] this. Help me if anyone can.
So, how about you do it all according to APA 7th edition requirements. Because this is not what 'thesis' will look like. Sure, you made it overly simplistic and maybe that was your goal but then the title is misleading.
Hi DrTrefor, when I used \include, the alignment of chapter changes in the main text. but it is fine in the chapter file. What can I do? Could you help?
I can get all the macro usages from their respective manuals, if I watch this will I learn which packages to install, where to install, how to diagnose problems, etc? Or will latex work for me after watching this video?
I watched several videos on your channel. The problem is your video overlay. It is very distractive. It takes space on the screen. I had to look for another channel to get a better experience.
So if I write \banana{applesauce} \s9asab978{randomstuff} TeX will know what I mean? So banana and s9ssasab978 are keywords it understands, right? Because anything I type is a keyword that it can understand, right? Because it would be insanely stupid, outrageously idiotic, to expect the coder/typsetter/mathematician to have to memorize literally THOUSANDS of potential specific keywords.
My university wants us to use their custom front page for our thesis work, it is available as a stand alone document in .doc as well as in .pdf. Can I import this in any way and insert it?
I can't for the life of me get the page number to be on the bottom right side of every single page. I don't get why it has to be this difficult to change such a simple detail.
How to reduce the vertical space from the top of the paper to and bottom of the chapter and section. Also how to reduce the vertical space between chapter and paragraph.
please make tutorial for how to make types of signature index for teachers on pages like one side signature at left or right, two signature index side by side etc

ewcommand\blankpage{%
ull
\thispagestyle{empty}%
\addtocounter{page}{-1}%
ewpage}

Jesus, does that still exist? How many decades of development effort and MSWord still cannot compete.
First year engineering student here. Getting in the habit of using TeX early and my lecturers seem to appreciate it. Sure, it takes a little more effort to finish a write up, but having consistent style throughout everything I do means that when I start revising, I can easily switch between documents and have the same layout. Also, writing equations feels so much more streamlined than say, Microsoft Word.
Really a big thanku sir ...your video helped me and my classmate to make our master's thesis report 😀
I really hope to use your video very soon (as soon I can get results to write my PhD thesis). Thanks!!!
good luck with the results!
Thank you so much for this video. I was literally looking for one just three nights ago that shows how to do a thesis from scratch, and not just using templates. This is GREAT!
Glad I could help!
@@DrTrefor You did a great job! I couldn't get the APA referencing working though. Could I expect a short guideline in an upcoming video?
Thank you very much! You are amazing! Could you please inform me if it is safe to write unpublish papers in overleaf? Thank you in advance and congratulation for the video one more time!
Absolutely is safe!
@@DrTrefor Thank you very much!!!
just need to start my BSc Thesis and will go on with an research masters afterwards.. so probably something to look in thanks! btw does it also have a spellchecker for German build in? otherwise I need to fallback to vim and git :P
Check out language supports here: www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/International_language_support
@@DrTrefor thanks! Yea, I gave it a shot yesterday. Amazing and it also comes with optional vim keybindings. How could I not know about that.
Omg I am just starting to write my thesis and your video is a lifesaver! Thank you soooo much! :) I have really enjoyed your video and I have learned so much! :D
We have LaTex as an elective course in the Bachelor's programme of physics Major in my University.
Initial learning curve is steep for me atleast. I am still struggling a lot but I am still enjoying it given the fact that LaTex gives us full freedom to customize documents and frees is from the limitations of word processors. Just a terminal along with a text editor and document viewer, and I am good to go
The only way I will learn TeX/LaTeX is if somebody PAYS ME for MY time to learn it, and they personally tutor me on it.
This should be NO problem for the TeX/LaTeX fanatic, since for THEM spending millions of hours trying to figure out obscure code is a joy for them, rather than click and drag and getting on with the business of actually doing mathematics.
Track Changes is a Premium feature, by the way
Yup, it's one of my favourites. Not necessary, but definitely nice.
The dedication and the likes are not included in the table of contents. How can we do that please, because they also should be included?
Type everything in MS Word & Mathtype. Then hit a convert button to produce that horrible incomprehensible useless TeX/LaTeX garbage.
I'm definitely going to use this since I already work my assignments on obsidian md already and it's easy to just move my stuff there
I'm so glad I subbed back in Analysis 2, this is a gold mine.
I must say, because of you i am now a believer of our lord and savior LaTeX, keep spreading the good word brother !
lmao praise be to LaTeX! :D
Nice video! One thing I struggled with overleaf is when showing changes after review. Is there anyway to show changes without using the premium version?😅
I believe tracking changes is only a premium feature, but you can always do it the old fashion way of creating many versions of your files, one for each update.
I just needed this vid thanks
Dude why am I even watching this? I finished studying years ago :D
You can start by using Lyx as a bridge
Excellent. Really good video & addresses many queries
HOW CAN I LIKE THIS VIDEO A MILLION TIMES! Thank you so much Dr. Trefor!
Wait, this isn't the latex content I was looking for...
I'd love to have a PhD from the University of TH-cam lol
The most prestigious university in the world lol!
Thank you very much professor I can't tell you how helpful your Latex tutorials are because if I go to search all these things by myself it would be very tough task to get all tricks that you're sharing with us.❤
Hello Sir, I used latex on Windows (Texlive 2019). I am going to change it to MacOS (MacTex last version), But my previous latex in windows cannot run on MacOS. How to fix this problem? Thank you so much.
Really helpful video, now I'm just waiting for your next video.
Thank you so much! Will have another LaTeX video out soon:)
History, sharing and collaborating are free features.
Hi, first of all a tone of thanks for making this playlist on LATEX. As a beginner I am absolutely able to follow what you are saying. In this part of the video at 13:29 I tried putting a * like so: \include*{Chapter3-Conclusion} --> On compiling the Conclusion section disappears completely. I tried to put a * in the conlusion.tex file like so: \chapter{Conclusion} --> That didnt help either. Could you please let me know the solution?
clicked for the u of t solidarity, stayed for the passion
lol awesome:D
Thank You, Dr.Bazett!!
you made it look very easy, it was really entertaining.
Thank you
hi .. really liked you video. could you please upload a details video about font changing, page numbering, all these formatting stuffs.?
I have a third latex video coming out soon, I’ll try to include those:)
@@DrTrefor thanks for the reply... looking forward to it..
Everyone, save time and just jump the bla bla bla propaganda about "I love overleaf...etc" because when a video is sponsored in this way does not give any credibility to the youtuber's talking. Just go straight to what matters...
If you have some time to learn and a Unix-like system or WSL go for VIM+Latex+Git. You'll spend some time configuring and learning how to use everything but if you are patient you'll get a powerful tool you can use for free and with a faster flow. And not only for latex, you could use it eventually for any programming language also. A big learning curve but you won't need any other IDE again.
Hi, thank you for sharing your insights!!! My question is how is it possible to make the star in order to get the chapter without numeration on a mac 😂 Thank you for your help
Thank Sir Bazett! You're my ultimate overleaf reference.👏👏👏
I did everything you did but I am getting errors regarding the \cite{}. No matter what I do, my bibliography page shows nothing and citations are showing like [?] this. Help me if anyone can.
So, how about you do it all according to APA 7th edition requirements. Because this is not what 'thesis' will look like. Sure, you made it overly simplistic and maybe that was your goal but then the title is misleading.
Hi DrTrefor, when I used \include, the alignment of chapter changes in the main text. but it is fine in the chapter file. What can I do? Could you help?
good, realy your explanation is very clear
I can get all the macro usages from their respective manuals, if I watch this will I learn which packages to install, where to install, how to diagnose problems, etc? Or will latex work for me after watching this video?
My series should take you from beginner to expert! It doesn’t have everything but it has a lot
I watched several videos on your channel. The problem is your video overlay. It is very distractive. It takes space on the screen. I had to look for another channel to get a better experience.
So if I write
\banana{applesauce}
\s9asab978{randomstuff}
TeX will know what I mean? So banana and s9ssasab978 are keywords it understands, right?
Because anything I type is a keyword that it can understand, right?
Because it would be insanely stupid, outrageously idiotic, to expect the coder/typsetter/mathematician
to have to memorize literally THOUSANDS of potential specific keywords.
I had to learn all of this at Uni, luckily I could use word for my thesis. I mean what's the point? (I work with code)
How to make these subfolders ( chapters) and include them in the main folder using TexMaker?
Just discovered your channel and I love your videos, subbed
Welcome aboard!
My university wants us to use their custom front page for our thesis work, it is available as a stand alone document in .doc as well as in .pdf. Can I import this in any way and insert it?
I’d just add the pdf after you make the latex document and export it as pdf, last step add the cover page
So Amazing Tutorial.
I can't for the life of me get the page number to be on the bottom right side of every single page. I don't get why it has to be this difficult to change such a simple detail.
How to reduce the vertical space from the top of the paper to and bottom of the chapter and section. Also how to reduce the vertical space between chapter and paragraph.
How many man years have been burned on MS Word finicky heading, captions and contents pages?
please make tutorial for how to make types of signature index for teachers on pages like one side signature at left or right, two signature index side by side etc
What's the point of your face in half the screen?
Awesome video man :) I always had an ambivalent relationship with latex because many editors have really limited autocompletion abilities.
This is the longest of asking somebody to like and subscribe that I've ever met in youtube :D
This is wonderful, Thanks a lot. Latex is awesome 🙂
Whatever LaTeX I have learned is all because of your videos. Thank mister.
Glad I could help!
At 7:46 I realized that this is useless to me. I'm in 9th grade. Why did that take me so long to realize?
XeLaTeX -> LaTeX with a font that doesn't look like a maths lecture.
hello, i can't find a create new folder option, I can only create new tags. Any help?
how are you i want to know how to create a table signe of a function with overleaf i can’t do this it’ s possible
Instructions unclear wrote a dissertation.
I used LyX to write mine. Oh memories…
lmao latex is the poor mans WORD ..... like you can type maths in word ......
