%Revision 1.1  90/05/04  11:45:53  lwvanels
%Initial revision

%
% LaTeX format for theses at MIT
% Based on "Specifications for Thesis Preparation" 

% `vi' and `upcase' options by Krishna Sethuraman - krishna@athena.mit.edu
% Margins and heading types by Peter Nuth  - nuth@ai.mit.edu
% Title and abstract page by Stephen Gildea - gildea@erl.mit.edu
% Look in this directory for example file mitthesis.doc
% Also for propcover.tex - Boilerplate for PHD proposal.

% To use this style - say something like:
%  for dull, boring thesis format:
%	\documentclass[12pt]{mitthesis}
%       \pagestyle{plain}
% OR for fast drafts: 
%	\documentclass[11pt,singlespace,draft]{mitthesis}
%	\pagestyle{drafthead}
% OR for Tech Reports:
%	\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{mitthesis}	
%	\pagestyle{headings}
% OR
%  some other combination...
%
%%%% New options:
% 
% Option `twoside':
%   Good for producing Tech Reports.
%   The default is single-sided printing, which is what M.I.T. wants on the
%   thesis document itself.
%
% Option `singlespace':
%   Good for drafts.
%   Double-spaced theses are the default.
%   That is what M.I.T. asks for in the formal specifications.
%
% 	Note that MIT does not REQUIRE all theses to be double-spaced anymore.
% 	Someone in the library system said that it's OK to be single-spaced.
% 	(Regardless of what the specs. say...)
%   To get singlespacing in an area - Use  the 'singlespace' environment. 
%
% Option `draft':
%   Puts `overfull' boxes at the end of lines that are too long. 
%
% Pagestyle `drafthead':
%   Puts the date and the label ``*DRAFT*'' in the footer.
%
%%%%%%%%%%
%
%%%% Parameters to initialize for boilerplate page:
%
%	\title{Mixed Circular Cylindrical Shells}
% 	\author{J. Casey Salas}
% 	\prevdegrees{B.S., University of California (1978) \\
%		     S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1981)}
% 	\department{Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science}
% 	\degree{Doctor of Philosophy}
%% If the thesis is for two degrees simultaneously, list them both
%% separated by \and like this:
% 	\degree{Doctor of Philosophy \and Master of Science}
% 	\degreemonth{February}
% 	\degreeyear{1987}
% 	\thesisdate{December 10, 1986}
%% If the thesis is copyright by the Institute, leave this line out and
%% the standard copyright line will be used instead.
% 	\copyrightnotice{J. Casey Salas, 1986}
%% If there is more than one supervisor, use the \supervisor command
%% once for each.
% 	\supervisor{John D. Galli}{Director, Sound Instrument Laboratory}
%% This is the department committee chairman, not the thesis committee chairman
% 	\chairman{Arthur C. Smith}
%		 {Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Students}
%% Make the titlepage based on the above information.  If you need
%% something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify
%% the exact text of the titlepage yourself.  Put it in a titlepage
%% environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.
%% The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page.  The dotted
%% lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.
%
%% The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
%% the text itself.  The title and other header material are put at the
%% top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom.  A
%% new page is begun both before and after.  Of course, an abstract may
%% be more than one page itself.  If you need more control over the
%% format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
%% the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.
%
% 	\begin{abstractpage}
%	    Abstract goes here.
%	\end{abstractpage}
%
%%%%%%%% Newer additions 
%
% documentclass options - 
% vi		For MIT course VI or VIII thesis - will copyright the thesis to
% 		you while giving MIT permission to copy and distribute it.
% upcase	Will put much of the cover page in uppercase, as per the
% 		example on page 17 of the *Specifications for Thesis
% 		Preparation*, (revised 1989)
% Also added ``All Rights Reserved'' to default copyright notice.
