% PSU Thesis Style File Compiled by Matt Floros
% This file contains macros for automatic generation of front matter, back
% matter, signature pages, and so forth for Penn State master and doctoral
% theses. It was pieced together from several sources, and many macros were
% added such that the user should be able to piece together properly formatted
% thesis with simple macro calls without editing this file.
%
% To generate the title page, the following variables must be set, either in the
% preamble or in the document itself:
% \title{} (Thesis title)
% \author{} (Your name as it is to appear on the title page,
% signature page, permission to copy page, and
% UMI abstract)
% \submitdate{} (Month and year, e.g. December 2000)
% \principaladviser{} (Adviser's name)
% \dept{} (Academic Department}
% \degree{} (typically Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy}
% to generate the appropriate entries on the title page.
%
% \includecopyrightline will add a copyright line on the title page
%
%
% Possibly one of the following commands must be issued:
% \thesis
% \dissertation
% \proposal
%
% to set whether or not you want the title page to say "A Thesis in" "A Thesis
% Proposal in," or "A Dissertation in" (\thesis is default).
%
%
% To generate the signature page, the readers must be set with
% \firstreader{}{}, \secondreader{}{}, up to \sixthreader{}{}. If the number
% of readers is smaller than six, simply omit the remaining. Each reader
% command takes two arguments. The first is the reader's name, and the second
% includes the identifiers for that reader. The following macros are used to
% format the identifiers:
% \adviser
% \coadviser
% \chair
% \cochair
% \head{}
% \prof{}
% \assistprof{}
% \assocprof{}
% or the combinations
% \adviserchair
% \coadviserchair
% if these entries are to appear on the same line. Each command will produce a
% line under the reader's name. The department is supplied as the argument for
% \head{}, \prof{}, etc. For example:
%
% \firstreader{John Doe}{\adviserchair \prof{Chemistry}\head{Chemistry}}
% would produce the entry:
% John Doe
% Thesis Adviser, Chair of Committee
% Professor of Chemistry
% Head of Department of Chemistry
%
%
% Options are set to select the frontmatter that will be used in the thesis:
%
% \includecopyrightpage
% \includelistoftables
% \includelistoffigures
% \includepermission
% \includesignature
% \listofsymbols[width]{list symbols here}*
% \dedicationtext{Dedication here.}
% \abstracttext{Abstract here.}
% \acknowltext{Acknowledgements here.}
% \prefacetext{Preface here.}
% \epigraphtext{Epigraph here.}
% \frontispiece{Picture Here}
%
% If not defined, the item will be neglected.
%
% * The list of symbols command \listofsymbols has an optional argument and
% additional command which can be helpful for typesetting the list of symbols.
% A command \symbolentry is defined which takes two arguments. The first is
% the symbol itself and the second is the definition. A sample use of
% \symbolentry would be \symbolentry{F}{Force}. Note that the first argument
% is typeset in math mode by default and a command such as \mbox must be used
% to set the symbol in regular text. The symbol and definition are set with
% the minipage environment defaulting to 1 inch for the symbol, and the
% remaining width of the text for the definition. Because the minipage
% environment is used, the definition will wrap indented by the 1 inch if it is
% too long to fit on a single line. The 1 inch can be changed either by
% setting the length parameter \symbolwidth to a different value before calling
% \listofsymbols, or adding an optional argument to \listofsymbols, i.e.
% \listofsymbols[0.5in]{list symbols here}. If it is desired to change the
% symbol width in the middle, the command \setsymwidth{length} will change the
% column sizes.
%
% Finally, the frontmatter is created with \makefrontmatter which must be in
% the main text.
%
%
% Additionally, a draft command \draft is included which creates a box at the
% top of each page with the date and time of creation. Note that this changes
% the page style to {plain} where it would normally be {headings} so the draft
% mark does not overlap the chapter headings.
%
%
% A command \numberbychapter causes equations, figures, and tables to be
% numbered by chapter as chapter.number, e.g. the first figure of chapter 2 is
% figure 2.1. A seperate command \numtheorembychap does the same for theorems,
% lemmas, and definitions, but must be invoked after defining the theorem or
% definition environment.
%
%
% Appendices should be preceeded by either \singleappendix or \appendices,
% which format single or multiple appendices properly The appendix title
% should be invoked by \chapter as usual after \singleappendix or \appendices
% is issued.
