Dissertation

The complete code of my dissertation. The master branch is the dissertation in my prefered design. The KSUstyle branch has a design as required for submission by Kent State University.

I recommend TeX Live 2016 or later for compiling.

Build Instruction

There is a makefile with multiple compiling options.

• default Creates the document. Precompiles the header and figures. Creates a directory tikzCache if it does not exist.

• cleanHeader Removes the precompiled header. Results in a recompiling of it.

• precompile Precompiles the header.

• complete Recompiles the whole document without precompiling of the header of figures. Calls clean afterwards.

• clean Removes all precompiled and temporary LaTeX files.
