This template is an amalgamation of an existing Edinburgh University, Electrical Engineering PhD Thesis class file (jthesis-v1.cls) authored by George S Taylor which was released under the GNU GPL. Code is included from the dmathesis class Written by M. Imran for a thesis according to the university of Durham regulation, which was released without copyright. It also contains ideas (possibly code) from the Princeton thesis class file (PrincetonThesis.cls), authored by Mike Nolta.
Mathew Topper, Eoghan Maguire and Bill Edwards, of the Institute of Energy Systems in the University of Edinburgh, foresaw the need to maintain a more recent latex implementation of the university thesis regulations and thus, this project was born. It is hoped that the template will be maintained by the University of Edinburgh PhD community once released.
