%%%%%%%%%  Documentclass and options  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\documentclass[twoside]{mitthesis}
% 						fontset=libertinus, fontset=lmodern, fontset=lucida, 
%						fontset=fira-newtxsf, fontset=newtx, fontset=newtx-sans-text,  
%						fontset=heros-stix2,  fontset=stix2, fontset=termes-stix2, fontset=termes
%
% 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 [fontset=xxx]  is a keyvalue which can be:
%					 	for pdftex or lualatex engine:  defaultfonts, libertinus, lmodern, lucida
%					 	for pdftex only: 				fira-newtxsf, newtx, newtx-sans-text
%						for lualatex only:				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.
%
% option [mydesign] 	loads packages for color, title and list formats, margins, or captions. 
%	or [mydesign=file]	You can edit mydesign.tex to change defaults. Other design files can be loaded as
%						key values, [mydesign=filename], where filename.tex should be in your working directory.
%						Two example files are provided: mydesign_redsans_headings.tex and mydesign_libertinus_headings.
%						See documentation for details and a description of the appropriate fontsets to use with each.

%%%%%%%%%  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  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%% 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
%%   cheat sheet is here:   https://tug.ctan.org/info/biblatex-cheatsheet/biblatex-cheatsheet.pdf

%% Numerical citations of references
\usepackage[style=ext-numeric-comp,giveninits=true,maxbibnames=10,sorting=none,language=american]{biblatex}

% and make some changes to that style
	\renewcommand{\multicitedelim}{\addcomma}% removes space between consecutive cites to give [6,7], not [6, 7]
    \AtEveryBibitem{%
      \ifentrytype{article}{%
        \renewbibmacro{in:}{}% Removes "In:" for articles
		\renewcommand*{\jourvoldelim}{\addcomma\space}   % put comma after journal title
		\renewcommand*{\volnumdatedelim}{\addcomma\space}% put comma after volume info
		\renewbibmacro*{issue+date}{% Print date without parentheses around it
		\iffieldundef{issue}%
        	{}%
        	{\printfield{issue}%
         	\setunit*{\addcomma\space}
        	}%
			\printdate
		}
      }{}
    }
    %
	\renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{%
        \printtext[bold]{\printfield{volume}}%    bold volume (issue number) , eid
%        \printtext[parens]{\printfield{number}}%  
        \iffieldundef{number}
          {} % do nothing
          {\printtext[parens]{\printfield{number}}} % print number in parentheses
        \setunit{\bibeidpunct}%
        \printfield{eid}
    }

%% IEEE style citations and references
% \usepackage[style=ieee,maxbibnames=10,sorting=none]{biblatex}% style=ext-numeric-comp,articlein=false,giveninits=true
%	 \DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{url= \textsc{url} ,  }% replaces the IEEE default "[Online]. Available" by "URL"

%% author-year style citations and references 
%% use \parencite, not \cite, when you want "(Author, year)"
%% The sample files are not set up to include parentheses.
% \usepackage[style=authoryear, maxbibnames=10]{biblatex} 


\addbibresource{mitthesis-sample.bib}%% <== change to YOUR bib file <========= CHANGE !!


%% to avoid split urls and stretched white space, you can make the bibliography ragged-right by uncommenting this:
%\AddToHook{cmd/bibsetup/after}{\raggedright}

%% To ensure citations are set, run Latex --> biblatex --> Latex again (unless your installation does this automatically)


%%%%%%%%%%  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 is usually to stay with the default leading (or to learn about latex font settings).


%%%%%%%%%%%  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 used \DocumentMetadata at line 14, 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 (e.g., Prof. Dr.-Ing.), you can include it here.
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%  Math operators %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% These commands declare two math operators, \erf{..} and \erfc{..} using mathtools
% note: * form, \erf*{..}, produces automatic delimiter scaling; 
%       optional argument sets size manually, e.g. \erf[\bigg]{..}.
% See Table 1.1 in Chapter 1

\DeclareMathOperator{\Erf}{erf}
\DeclareMathOperator{\Erfc}{erfc}
\DeclarePairedDelimiterXPP\erf[1]{\Erf\mkern1mu}(){}{#1}% increase to 2mu with stix2 font
\DeclarePairedDelimiterXPP\erfc[1]{\Erfc\mkern1mu}(){}{#1}

% \Degree{Master of Science in Physics}{}
% \Degree{Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering}{Department of Mechanical Engineering}


% If there is more than one supervisor, use the \Supervisor command for each.

%%%%%%%  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}{}
%
% (d) you can change the font size of the author name[s] with
%
%	\AuthorNameSize{\normalsize}
%
% (e) and you can omit any previous degrees from the title page, instead mentioning them in the biographical sketch

% Also, if you prefer to keep the text toward the top of the page with most white space at the bottom, you
% can use 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.
