\chapter*{Abstract}
\label{cha:abstract}


This is a place-holder for the abstract. 
It summarizes the whole work to give a very short overview. 
Usually, this the abstract is written when the whole work text is finished.
Alternatively, write an initial abstract in the beginning (wish how it should look like in the end), and then rewrite it at the end of the work.

The abstract consists of four parts, plus an optional beginning.
0., optionally start the abstract with 1-2 sentences about the background of the work.
1., describe the topic, or problem of the work.
It should be clear what the aim of the work is.
2., describe how you solved the problem.
It should be clear what steps were necessary to solve the problem.
3., give a short overview of the results.
Should be clear how well the problem is solved.
4., give an outlook of what is now possible, since the problem has been solved.

The abstract is typically written in the past tense. 
It is uncommon to put references directly into the abstract.
