\documentclass[twoside]{mitthesis} %,fontset=libertine, fontset=newtx-sans-text, fontset=heros-stix2, fontset=stix2
%
% option [twoside] gives facing-page behavior for printing; omitting twoside will eliminate even-numbered blank pages.
% option [lineno] provides line numbers, as for editing
% option [mydesign] loads packages for color, title and list formats, margins, or captions: edit mydesign.tex to change defaults.
% option [fontset] is a keyvalue which can be:
% pdftex or unicode engines: defaultfonts, libertine, lucida
% pdftex only: fira-newtxsf, newtx, newtx-sans-text
% unicode engines (luatex): heros-stix2, stix2, termes, termes-stix2
% if no key value is given, fonts default to CMR (pdftex) or LMR (unicode), i.e., "the LaTeX font".
% You can edit the fontset files or you can write your own, myfonts.tex, and do [fontset=myfonts].
% If you are using multiple languages, load the babel package in your fontset file, before the fonts.
%%%%%%%%% Packages used in sample chapters (not otherwise required) %%%%%%%
%% Package for code listing in Appendix A.
\usepackage{listings}% documentation is here https://ctan.org/pkg/listings
%% Set chemical formulas nicely
\usepackage[version=4]{mhchem}% documentation is here https://ctan.org/pkg/mhchem
%% Latin filler used in Chapter 1, with a test for package version date. https://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{lipsum}
\IfPackageAtLeastTF{lipsum}{2021/09/20}{\setlipsum{auto-lang=false}}{}
%%%%%%%%% Graphics path (to figure files) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Can set graphicspath to point to specific directories containing figures (the current directory is searched automatically)
%% For instance, to search a subdirectory of the current directory called "figures" and a parallel directory called "art", set:
% \graphicspath{ {figures/} {../art/} }% For details see: https://latexref.xyz/dev/latex2e.html#g_t_005cgraphicspath
%%%%%%%%% Representative set-up for biblatex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage[style=ieee,maxbibnames=10,sorting=none]{biblatex}% style=ext-numeric-comp,articlein=false,giveninits=true
\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{url= \textsc{url} , }% replaces default "[Online]. Available" by "URL"
\addbibresource{mitthesis-sample.bib}%% <== change to YOUR bib file <= CHANGE
%% to avoid split urls and stretched white space, you can set the bibliography ragged-right:
%\appto{\bibsetup}{\raggedright}
% biblatex is very powerful, and you can customize most aspects the reference list and citations to suit your needs.
% documentation is here: https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex
%%%%%%%%%% Option to use natbib %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%\RequirePackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}
%%% add bibliography to table of contents
%\apptocmd{\bibliography}{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\textbf{\bibname}}}{}{}
%%% You can use this to rename the bibliography section
%\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
%%% Can adjust space between bibliography items (change 4pt to something else; don't drop last two lengths, they are stretchable "glue")
%\setlength\bibsep{4pt plus 1pt minus 1pt}
%%%%%%%%%% Table related packages %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{booktabs}% better quality tables, https://ctan.org/pkg/booktabs
\usepackage{array}% additional options for table columns, https://ctan.org/pkg/array
%\usepackage{tabularx}% https://ctan.org/pkg/tabularx
%\usepackage{dcolumn}% alignment on decimal place, https://ctan.org/pkg/dcolumn
%\newcolumntype{d}[1]{D{.}{.}{#1}}
%%%%%%%%%% Option for "double spacing" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Back in the typewriter era, double spaced lines were convenient for editing with a pencil.
%% In typography, the separation between lines is called "leading", and it is usually set in
%% proportion to the font size (i.e., when the font is loaded). If you really feel the need
%% to change the line separation, the most attractive results will be obtained by changing the
%% leading in proportion to the the current font size, rather than just doubling the space.
%% The setspace package provides a tool for changing line separation. Use these two commands here:
%
% \usepackage{setspace}% documentation at https://ctan.org/pkg/setspace
% \setstretch{1.1}% you can choose some other value for the stretch of space between lines
%
%% Use one or more of the these commands AFTER the frontmatter
%
% \onehalfspacing
% \doublespacing
% \singlespacing % will turn these effects off (you can use these anywhere in the document)
%% The best result may be to stay with leading selected by the typographer who set up the font.
%%%%%%%%%%% Metadata %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Most of the document metadata is created automatically.
% The following items should be adjusted to match your work. <================= !!!!!!!!!!
\hypersetup{%
pdfsubject={Template for writing MIT theses with the mitthesis class},
% Change this to briefly state topic of your thesis
%
pdfkeywords={Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT},
% Add keywords that will help search engines and libraries to find your work.
% Includes the name[s] of the author[s]
% (If you have used \DocumentMetadata, at line 15, you can just put "\CopyrightAuthor," for the names.)
%
pdfurl={},
% If you have a url for the thesis, put it here. Otherwise delete this.
% (MIT Libraries will put your thesis in DSPACE with a persistent url after you submit it.)
%
pdfcontactemail={},
% You can put a [permanent] email address into the metadata, if you like.
% Otherwise delete this.
%
pdfauthortitle={},
% If you have a title, you can include it here.

% Note that third, fourth, fifth, and sixth arguments are optional [] and may be omitted

% \Author{Thurston Howell III}{Department of Economics}[MBA, Ferengi School of Management, 2022]
% Use once for each degree fulfilled by thesis
% For two degrees from one department, leave the department argument blank for the second degree {}.
% \Degree{Bachelor of Science in Physics}{Department of Physics}
% \Degree{Master of Science in Physics}{}

% \Supervisor{Secunda Castor}{Professor of Research}
% \Supervisor{Quintus Castor}{Professor of Log Dams}
% Professor who formally accepts theses for your department (e.g., the Graduate Officer, Professor Sméagol,...)
% If more than one department, use more than once

%%%%%%% Solutions for overflowing titlepage %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% If your title page is overflowing (from too many names, degrees, etc.):
%
% (a) you can reduce the 12pt and 18pt skips between various blocks to 6pt with this command:
%
% \Tighten
%
% (b) you can scale down the Signature block at the bottom with this command:
%
% \SignatureBlockSize{\small} %or this one \SignatureBlockSize{\footnotesize}
%
% (c) you can put the acceptor name and title onto two lines, rather than three like this:
%
% \Acceptor{Tertius Castor}{Professor and Graduate Officer, Department of Research}{}
% \Acceptor{Quarta Castor}{Professor and Graduate Officer, Department of Mechanical Engineering}{}
%
% (d) you can change the font size of the the author name[s] with
%
% \AuthorNameSize{\normalsize}
%
% (e) and you can omit any previous degrees from the title page, instead mentioning them in the Biosketch
% Also, if you prefer to keep the text toward the top of the page with most white space at the bottom, you
% can you this command to squash all of the vertical glue (stretchy space) with this command:
%
% \Squash
%
% This command is useful when the text has not already reach the bottom of the page, since the glue gets squashed automatically
% when the page is too full.
