LaTeX is a programming language widely used in science and engineering to produce professionally typeset journals, theses, and books.

To get started, you will need to download and install a LaTeX distribution for your operating system (a good one for Mac is MacTex, for Windows is MikTex), TeX-aware editor, and a number of special style files that ensure that your dissertation/thesis adheres to all Temple formatting requirements. These files are provided to you in the TU-Thesis zip archive

Unzip the archive and run (PDF)LaTeX on tuthesis.tex. This should yield tuthesis.pdf and produce no errors. Open tuthesis.tex. It is self-explanatory.
