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 following zip archives for MS thesis and PhD dissertation.

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.
