Template for PhD and MS dissertations for Case Western Reserve University.

%% This is the CWRU thesis template for PhD and Masters degree theses. The template file cwru_thesis.cls and this main.tex file follow the guidelines of the school of graduate studies found at https://case.edu/gradstudies/current-students/electronic-theses-and-dissertation-guidelines as of February 2023, with the inclusion of an additional List of Symbols if desired.
%%
%% This .tex file is for use with BibLaTeX.

%% As of Spring 2023, the School of Graduate Studies requires some minimum accessibility requirements for all electronic theses. Accessibility is difficult to produce with LaTeX on the front end, but fortunately it is quite easy to meet the requirements on the back end using Adobe (not Adobe Reader). Simply download the PDF of your thesis and follow this guide: https://case.edu/gradstudies/sites/case.edu.gradstudies/files/2023-02/CWRU%20Thesis%20and%20Dissertation%20Accessiblity%20Guide_0.pdf

\chapter{Introduction} \label{chap:intro}
Start off all chapters with \verb|chapter|. \verb|\extrachapter| will give you an unnumbered chapter that's added to the Table of Contents. Labeling is also good practice. That way you can reference sections and chapters from anywhere. For instance, I can reference Sec.~\ref{sec:exsection} from here.
Here's an example of a citation \citep{GMP81}. Here's another \citep{PP98}. These will appear in the big bibliography at the end of the thesis.
If you're new to \LaTeX{} and would like to begin by learning the basics, please see our free online course available at:\\ \url{https://www.overleaf.com/latex/learn/free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-1} \index{LaTeX@\LaTeX}
You can define terms and/or symbols in a glossary \index{glossary} as you talk about key terms in your thesis. So what's a \gls{galaxy}? These can also include acronyms, such as \acrlong{leo}, which is abbreviated as \acrshort{leo}. You should always define acronyms at the point of first use in the text, in addition to including them in the glossary.
\section{This is a Section} \label{sec:exsection}
\lipsum[1-2]
Check this out! I can reference a figure number in the text of the document by referring to Fig.~\ref{fig:logo}.
\begin{figure}[hbt!]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{cwru_logo.eps}
\caption{This is a figure. \label{fig:logo}}
\end{figure}
\subsection{This is a Subsection} \label{subsec:exsubsec}
\begin{table}[hbt!]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\hline
Area & Count\\
\hline
North & 100\\
South & 200\\
East & 80\\
West & 140\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{This is a table. \label{tab:sample}}
\end{table}
\lipsum[3]
I can add another glossary entry wherever I like, and I can make it capitalized by using the macro command with a capital letter like this: \Gls{asteroid}. The quadratic formula is given in Eq.~\eqref{eq:quadratic}.
\begin{equation}
x=\frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 - 4AC}}{2A}
\label{eq:quadratic}
\end{equation}
\lipsum[4-5]
\section{This is Another Section}
\lipsum[6-7]
\chapter{This is the Second Chapter}
\lipsum[8-9]
\chapter{This is the Third Chapter}
See? I can reference the first chapter from all the way down here. I think the first chapter was Chapter~\ref{chap:intro}.
\chapter{This is the Fourth Chapter}
\chapter{This is the Fifth Chapter}
\chapter{This is the Sixth Chapter}
\chapter{This is the Seventh Chapter}
\chapter{This is the Eighth Chapter}
