% Page margins. The University requires A4 (210 × 297 mm), with the following
% spacings:
% Top margin: 1.8cm
% Bottom margin: 1.8cm
% Left margin: 1.5cm
% Right margin: 1.5cm
% + 2.5cm gutter, making 4.0cm on the binding edge.

% This page described the various parameters that can be set here:
%  http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/layout.html

% The actual width of the body text must be 15.5cm.
\textwidth 15.5cm

% The default side margin is 1" + whatever is set here. 1" == 2.54cm.
% To meet the 4.0cm of 1.5cm margin + 2.5cm gutter:
% 
% On odd pages, the side margin must be set to 1.46cm. (i.e., the
% default value of 2.54cm + an additional 1.46cm to achieve the 1.5cm
% margin + 2.5cm gutter.)
%\oddsidemargin 1.46cm
% 
% On even pages, the gutter is on the opposing side, to the side
% margin is set to -1.04cm (i.e., the default value of 2.54cm - the
% 1.04cm required to achieve the 1.5cm margin.)
%\evensidemargin -1.04cm


% The default top margin is also 1" (2.54cm), but must be 1.8cm to
% conform to guidelines. Thus, the top margin must be set to 2.54cm -
% 0.74cm to meet the required 1.8cm.
%\topmargin -0.74cm

% With 1.8cm at top and bottom, 26.1cm is left for body text. Instead
% of 26.1cm, I set the text height to (26.1cm - 1.8cm), so the header
% gets 1.8cm and the body text still fits within guidelines.
\textheight 24.3cm


% Specify page titles for well-known sections.
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}

% Specify fancy header settings.
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}          % clear default settings

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}}{}}

                                       % pages)/right (even pages)
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\thepage}            % put page number right (odd
                                       % pages)/right (even pages)
