General ⇒ writing a thesis using latex

[ringdealer]

Greetings, I am an Electric Engineering student and I will graduate this year. I am writing my thesis in latex, problem is that the faculty demands a specific format. I’d like to know how to enumerate equations after its section or subsection’s number using \documentclass{article}, and how to insert another subsection after \subsubsection command.
Also I want to present my thesis using beamer class but I just can’t find the packages I need. Could someone, please, tell me where can I find them and how to install them? Thank you.

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

If you use amsmath, you can number your equations per sections by this setting in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{equation}{section}

Similar for subsections, that case use instead:

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{equation}{subsection}

Regarding the beamer class: which LaTeX are you using? MiKTeX, TeX Live, or MacTeX, or a TeX from Linux OS repositories? All have package managers, which you can use to install the beamer package.
