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}
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{Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer
63 Science}
65 % As of the 2007-08 academic year, valid degree months are September,
66 % February, or June. The default is June.

71 %% By default, the thesis will be copyrighted to MIT. If you need to copyright
72 %% the thesis to yourself, just specify the `vi' documentclass option. If for
73 %% some reason you want to exactly specify the copyright notice text, you can
74 %% use the \copyrightnoticetext command.
75 %\copyrightnoticetext{\copyright IBM, 1990. Do not open till Xmas.}
77 % If there is more than one supervisor, use the \supervisor command
78 % once for each.
79 \supervisor{Patrick H. Winston}{Ford Professor of Artificial
80 Intelligence and Computer Science}
82 % This is the department committee chairman, not the thesis committee
83 % chairman. You should replace this with your Department's Committee
84 % Chairman.
85 \chairman{Prof. Albert R. Meyer}{Chairman, Masters of Engineering
86 Thesis Committee}
88 % Make the titlepage based on the above information. If you need
89 % something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify
90 % the exact text of the titlepage yourself. Put it in a titlepage
91 % environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.
92 % The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page. The dotted
93 % lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.
94 \maketitle
96 % The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
97 % the text itself. The title and other header material are put at the
98 % top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom. A
99 % new page is begun both before and after. Of course, an abstract may
100 % be more than one page itself. If you need more control over the
101 % format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
102 % the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.
104 %% You can either \input (*not* \include) your abstract file, or you can put
105 %% the text of the abstract directly between the \begin{abstractpage} and
106 %% \end{abstractpage} commands.
108 % First copy: start a new page, and save the page number.
109 \cleardoublepage
110 % Uncomment the next line if you do NOT want a page number on your
111 % abstract and acknowledgments pages.
112 \pagestyle{empty}
113 \setcounter{savepage}{\thepage}
114 \begin{abstractpage}
115 \input{abstract}
116 \end{abstractpage}
118 % Additional copy: start a new page, and reset the page number. This way,
119 % the second copy of the abstract is not counted as separate pages.
120 % Uncomment the next 6 lines if you need two copies of the abstract
121 % page.
122 % \setcounter{page}{\thesavepage}
123 % \begin{abstractpage}
124 % \input{abstract}
