\documentclass[12pt]{cmuthesis}
% This is a template for a CMU thesis. It is 16 pages without any content :-)
% The source for this is pulled from a variety of sources and people.
% Here's a partial list of people who may or may have not contributed:
%
% bnoble = Brian Noble
% caruana = Rich Caruana
% colohan = Chris Colohan
% comar = Cyrus Omar
% dkoes = David Koes
% jab = Justin Boyan
% josullvn = Joseph O'Sullivan
% jrs = Jonathan Shewchuk
% kosak = Corey Kosak
% mjz = Matt Zekauskas (mattz@cs)
% pdinda = Peter Dinda
% pfr = Patrick Riley
% rak = Ryan Kavanagh
% dkoes: My main contribution is putting everything into a single class files and small template since I prefer this to some complicated sprawling directory tree with makefiles.
% rak: I ported it to use the "amsbook" class instead of the plain "book" class.

% The other requirements Catherine has:
%
% - avoid large margins. She wants the thesis to use fewer pages,
% especially if it requires colour printing.
%
% - The thesis should be formatted for double-sided printing. This
% means that all chapters, acknowledgements, table of contents, etc.
% should start on odd numbered (right facing) pages.
%
% - You need to use the department standard tech report title page. I
% have tried to ensure that the title page here conforms to this
% standard.
%
% - Use a nice serif font, such as Times Roman. Sans serif looks bad.
%
% Other than that, just make it look good...
