I wrote, formatted, and edited my thesis using [http://www.tug.org/texworks/ TeXworks], a free, open-source TeX editing software. (You can download it and all necessary associated files using that link.) The formatting used in these documents was accepted by the [http://grad.wisc.edu/currentstudents/degree/ Graduate School] in August, 2014, but you should probably check if there are any changes in the requirements.
 
I've uploaded a .zip file with all of the .tex files you need to compile my thesis. (There are also separate folders with the references and figures.)
what do the different files do?
 
The main file is the file called "thesis.tex". This is the main file that calls all of the other files; it's the only one you ever have to "run". It calls all of the other .tex files, and it automatically generates a PDF every time you run it. (To "run" or typeset the document in TeXworks, use CTRL+T or click on the green circle with the arrow in the top left of the screen.) For all the other .tex files, you just make changes in them, and then save. Then you run thesis.tex, and the changes will be reflected in the new PDF.
