CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter is about the introduction of your work.

1.1 FORMAT OF THE THESIS

A few guidelines for writing the thesis are given below. These are
taken from Ph.d regulations of Anna University [1].

1.1.1 Table of Contents

The Table of contents should list all captions following it as well as

any caption which precedes it. The title page, Certificate and Acknowledgment
will not find a place among the items listed in the Table of Contents but the page
numbers of which are in lower case Roman letters. One and a half line spacing
should be adopted.

1.1.2 List of Tables and Figures

The list should use exactly the same captions as they appear above
the Tables and Figures in the text. One and a half line spacing should be adopted.
 2

1.1.3 List of Symbols and Abbreviations

One and a half line spacing should be adopted for typing the matter
under this head. Standard symbols, abbreviations, etc. should be used.

1.1.4 Chapters

The chapters may be broadly divided into 3 parts (i) Introductory

chapter, (ii) Chapters developing the main theme of the Thesis and (iii) Results,
Discussion and Conclusion. The main text shall be divided into several chapters
and each chapter may be further divided into several divisions and sub-divisions.

• Each chapter should be given an appropriate title.

• Tables and Figures in a chapter should be placed in the immediate

vicinity of the reference where they are cited.

• Footnotes should be used sparingly. They should be typed single

space and placed directly underneath in the very same page which
refers to the material they annotate.

1.1.5 Appendices

Appendices are provided to give supplementary information, which if included

in the main text may serve as a distraction and cloud the central theme under
discussion.

• Appendices should be named alphabetically starting from Appendix

A, Appendix B, etc.
 3

• Appendices, Tables and references appearing in appendices should

be numbered and referred to at appropriate places just as in the case
of chapters.

• Appendices shall carry the title of the work reported and the same
title shall be included in the Table of Contents page.

1.1.6 References

Any works of other researchers, if used either directly or indirectly, the origin
of the material thus referred to at appropriate places in the thesis should be
indicated. Use of bibtex is recommended.

1.1.7 Citation

A few examples for citing articles, books and websites are given in
Chapter 2.

1.1.8 Tables and Figures

A Table or Figure including caption should be accommodated within

the prescribed margin limits and appear on the page following the page where
their first reference is made.

• Tables and Figures on half page or less in length may appear on the
same page along with the text. However, they should be separated
from the text both above and below by triple spacing.
 4

• Tables and Figures on half page or less in length may appear on the
same page along with the text. However, they should be separated
from the text both above and below by triple spacing.

• All Tables and Figures should be prepared on the same paper or

material used for the preparation of the rest of the Thesis.

• Two or more small Tables or Figures may be grouped if necessary in

a single page.

1.2 TYPING INSTRUCTIONS

Some guidelines for typing are provided below.

1.2.1 General

One and a half line spacing should be used for typing the general
text. The general text shall be typed in Font Style Times New Roman and Font
Size 13.

1.2.2 Chapter

The word CHAPTER without punctuation should be centered 50 mm

down from the top of the page. Two spaces below, the title of the chapter should
be typed centrally in capital letters. The text should commence 4 spaces below
this title, the first letter of the text starting 20 mm inside from the left hand
margin. The division and sub-division captions along with their numberings
should be left justified. The typed material directly below division or sub-division
heading should commence 2 spaces below it and should be offset 20 mm from
the left hand margin. Within a division or sub-division paragraphs are permitted.
 5

Even paragraph should commence 3 spaces below the last line of the preceding
paragraph, the first letter in the paragraph being offset from the left hand margin
by 20 mm.

1.3 NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS

1.3.1 Page Numbering

All page numbers (whether it be in Roman or Arabic numbers) should

be typed without punctuation on the upper right hand corner 20 mm from the
top with the last digit in line with the right hand margin. The preliminary pages
of the Thesis (such as Title page, Acknowledgement, Table of Contents, etc.)
should be numbered in lower case Roman numerals. The title page will be
numbered as (i) but this should not be typed. The page immediately following
the title page shall be numbered as (ii) and it should appear at the top right hand
corner as already specified. Pages of main text, starting with Chapter 1 should
be consecutively numbered using Arabic numerals.

1.3.2 Numbering of Chapters, Divisions and Subdivisions

The numbering of chapters, divisions and sub-divisions should be

done using Arabic numerals only and further decimal notation should be used
for numbering the divisions and sub-divisions within a chapter. For example
sub-division 4 under division 3 belonging to chapter 2 should be numbered as
2.3.4. The caption for the sub-division should immediately follow the number
assigned to it. Refer below to the subsection and subsubsections. Every chapter
beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered using Arabic numerals.
 6

A subdivision of the subsection

Use subsubsubsection in Latex to indicate a subdivision. The

numbering should automatically appear in the Table of Contents.

1.3.3 Numbering of Tables and Figures

Tables and Figures appearing anywhere in the Thesis should bear

appropriate numbers. The rule for assigning such numbers is illustrated by an
example. Thus, if a Figure in Chapter 3, happens to be the fourth then assign
3.4 to that Figure. Identical rules apply for Tables except that the word Figure
is replaced by the word Table. If Figures (or Tables) appear in appendices then
Figure 3 in Appendix Section 2 will be designated as Figure A 2.3. If a table to
be continued into the next page this may be done, but no line should be drawn
underneath an unfinished Table. The top line of the Table continued into the
next page should, for example read Table 2.1 (continued) placed centrally and
underlined.

1.3.4 Numbering of Equations

Equations appearing in each Chapter or Appendix should be numbered

serially, the numbering should commence afresh for each Chapter or Appendix.
 7

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE SURVEY/RELATED WORK

This chapter should provide the details about the related work. Atleast
20 articles should be referred and cited. The explanation should be provided
within sections and subsections.

Include the limitations of the existing work and briefly explain how
your idea is advantageous over the existing ones in this chapter.

2.1 METHOD OF CITATION

Following are a few methods of citation.

2.1.1 Approach of Waldron

An improved algorithm has been adopted in the literature [2].

2.1.2 Approach by Conley

A theory [3] on structures discusses the advantages and disadvantages.

2.1.3 Another approach

The problem of mechanical manipulators has been studied extensively

in the theory of mechanics and machines [4] and [5].

Figure 3.2: Example 2

The sum of squares of a and b are calculated as shown below:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab (3.1)

From Equation 3.1, the data is obtained.
