43 % NOTE:
44 % These templates make an effort to conform to the MIT Thesis specifications,
45 % however the specifications can change. We recommend that you verify the
46 % layout of your title page with your thesis advisor and/or the MIT
47 % Libraries before printing your final copy.

51 % If you wish to list your previous degrees on the cover page, use the
52 % previous degrees command:
53 % \prevdegrees{A.A., Harvard University (1985)}
54 % You can use the \\ command to list multiple previous degrees
55 % \prevdegrees{B.S., University of California (1978) \\
56 % S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1981)}
57 \department{Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science}
58
59 % If the thesis is for two degrees simultaneously, list them both
60 % separated by \and like this:
61 % \degree{Doctor of Philosophy \and Master of Science}
62 \degree{Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering}
63
64 % As of the 2007-08 academic year, valid degree months are September,
65 % February, or June. The default is June.

70 %% By default, the thesis will be copyrighted to MIT. If you need to copyright
71 %% the thesis to yourself, just specify the `vi' documentclass option. If for
72 %% some reason you want to exactly specify the copyright notice text, you can
73 %% use the \copyrightnoticetext command.
74 %\copyrightnoticetext{\copyright IBM, 1990. Do not open till Xmas.}
75
76 % If there is more than one supervisor, use the \supervisor command
77 % once for each.
78 \supervisor{William J. Dally}{Associate Professor}
79
80 % This is the department committee chairman, not the thesis committee
81 % chairman. You should replace this with your Department's Committee
82 % Chairman.
83 \chairman{Arthur C. Smith}{Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Theses}
84
85 % Make the titlepage based on the above information. If you need
86 % something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify
87 % the exact text of the titlepage yourself. Put it in a titlepage
88 % environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.
89 % The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page. The dotted
90 % lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.
91 \maketitle
92
93 % The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
94 % the text itself. The title and other header material are put at the
95 % top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom. A
96 % new page is begun both before and after. Of course, an abstract may
97 % be more than one page itself. If you need more control over the
98 % format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
99 % the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.
100
101 %% You can either \input (*not* \include) your abstract file, or you can put
102 %% the text of the abstract directly between the \begin{abstractpage} and
103 %% \end{abstractpage} commands.
104
105 % First copy: start a new page, and save the page number.
106 \cleardoublepage
107 % Uncomment the next line if you do NOT want a page number on your
108 % abstract and acknowledgments pages.

110 \setcounter{savepage}{\thepage}
111 \begin{abstractpage}
112 \input{abstract}
113 \end{abstractpage}
114
115 % Additional copy: start a new page, and reset the page number. This way,
116 % the second copy of the abstract is not counted as separate pages.
117 % Uncomment the next 6 lines if you need two copies of the abstract
118 % page.
