+## Help
+
+If you want to give me feedback, you are very welcome to do so.
+I am happy of any kind of helpful feedback, including but not limited
+to typos, overcomplicated text, overcomplicated reasoning, proof mistakes,
+new ideas, ...
+
+You can
+
+ * write an [e-mail](mailto:felix.hilsky@tu-dresden.de) with your comments
+ * change something and send me git patch files (to felix.hilsky@tu-dresden.de)
+ * change something and create a Merge Request (my favorite) either from your gitlab instance or with write access to the [MatNat-Gitlab](https://gitlab.mn.tu-dresden.de/s1140568/masterthesis/)
+ * Make comments on the [pdf](https://gitlab.mn.tu-dresden.de/api/v4/projects/585/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/Felix-Hilsky-master-thesis.pdf?job=pdf) and send that to [me](mailto:felix.hilsky@tu-dresden.de)
+ * Print the pdf and comment on paper and give that to me
+
+## Adviser
+
+[Prof. Sander](https://tu-dresden.de/mn/math/numerik/sander) and [Hanne Hardering](https://tu-dresden.de/mn/math/numerik/das-institut/beschaeftigte/hanne.hardering) motivated me to dive into geometric finite elements and offered to guide me during the master thesis.
+
+## File structure
+
+The file structure is based on my [LaTeX-template](https://flugit.hilsky.de/flukx/latextemplate) with additions. Top-level directories are
+
+ * **tex** The actual text in `.tex` files are here
+ * **notes** Notes that are not part of the actual master thesis text and are usually not written in LaTeX are here
+ - **scripts** Programs needed for the tex file handling are here
+ * **out** `latexmk` creates pdfs and temporary files in there, thanks to `.latexmkrc` config file
+ * **.latexmkrc** config file that tells `latexmk` to use `lualatex` and the output directory `out`
+ * **.gitlab-ci.yml** tells the gitlab to compile the current document and supply it via the [api](https://gitlab.mn.tu-dresden.de/api/v4/projects/585/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/Felix-Hilsky-master-thesis.pdf?job=pdf)
+
+## Create the document
+
+Run the command `latexmk`. If you want to compile only one part, run `latexmk tex/thepart.tex`.
+The product is in `out`.
