    1.46 +% NOTE:
    1.47 +% These templates make an effort to conform to the MIT Thesis specifications,
    1.48 +% however the specifications can change.  We recommend that you verify the
    1.49 +% layout of your title page with your thesis advisor and/or the MIT 
    1.50 +% Libraries before printing your final copy.

    1.54 +% If you wish to list your previous degrees on the cover page, use the 
    1.55 +% previous degrees command:
    1.56 +%       \prevdegrees{A.A., Harvard University (1985)}
    1.57 +% You can use the \\ command to list multiple previous degrees
    1.58 +%       \prevdegrees{B.S., University of California (1978) \\
    1.59 +%                    S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1981)}

    1.61 +
    1.62 +% If the thesis is for two degrees simultaneously, list them both
    1.63 +% separated by \and like this:
    1.64 +% \degree{Doctor of Philosophy \and Master of Science}
    1.65 +\degree{Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering}
    1.66 +
    1.67 +% As of the 2007-08 academic year, valid degree months are September, 
    1.68 +% February, or June.  The default is June.

    1.73 +%% By default, the thesis will be copyrighted to MIT.  If you need to copyright
    1.74 +%% the thesis to yourself, just specify the `vi' documentclass option.  If for
    1.75 +%% some reason you want to exactly specify the copyright notice text, you can
    1.76 +%% use the \copyrightnoticetext command.

    1.79 +% If there is more than one supervisor, use the \supervisor command
    1.80 +% once for each.
    1.81 +\supervisor{William J. Dally}{Associate Professor}
    1.82 +
    1.83 +% This is the department committee chairman, not the thesis committee
    1.84 +% chairman.  You should replace this with your Department's Committee
    1.85 +% Chairman.
    1.86 +\chairman{Arthur C. Smith}{Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Theses}
    1.87 +
    1.88 +% Make the titlepage based on the above information.  If you need
    1.89 +% something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify
    1.90 +% the exact text of the titlepage yourself.  Put it in a titlepage
    1.91 +% environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.
    1.92 +% The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page.  The dotted
    1.93 +% lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.
    1.94 +\maketitle
    1.95 +
    1.96 +% The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
    1.97 +% the text itself.  The title and other header material are put at the
    1.98 +% top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom.  A
    1.99 +% new page is begun both before and after.  Of course, an abstract may
   1.100 +% be more than one page itself.  If you need more control over the
   1.101 +% format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
   1.102 +% the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.
   1.103 +
   1.104 +%% You can either \input (*not* \include) your abstract file, or you can put
   1.105 +%% the text of the abstract directly between the \begin{abstractpage} and
   1.106 +%% \end{abstractpage} commands.
   1.107 +
   1.108 +% First copy: start a new page, and save the page number.

   1.111 +% abstract and acknowledgments pages.

   1.118 +% Additional copy: start a new page, and reset the page number.  This way,
   1.119 +% the second copy of the abstract is not counted as separate pages.
   1.120 +% Uncomment the next 6 lines if you need two copies of the abstract
   1.121 +% page.
