Master thesis template for the Univeristy of Torino

Hey guys ! Since I was not really satisfied by any of the templates online for the thesis, and our university has no defined template I decided to write one by myself.

Hope is helpful to anyone to save some time!

It was written from scratch with the help of many guides/tamplates found on the web, so feel free to modify and distribute it

Useful readings

About latex itself

• L'arte di scrivere con LaTeX (in Italian)
• ??? (in English)

About how to write a text which is clear and concise text

• A very brief guide about what NOT to do (in Italian)
• Strunk & White (in English)

One last warning

This template is thinked to be used for a thesis written in english, so no effort was put in the integration of features typical of italian (e.g. return at the beginning of the chapter). If you do a modification in that sense please do a pull request !

So enjoy and good luck !
