The class inherits most of its features from the ``book'' standard document class. Additionally we define the front matter, we set the margins and fonts, we set page headers and footers, and we set the style of all the hyperlinks (such as references and citations). We also define proofs and theorem-like environments as per the ``amsthm'' style with explicit numbering rules. Font sizes of 10-, 11-, and 12-point are all acceptable. The recommended size (and also the default) is 11-point. Provide the document class option ``10pt'' or ``12pt'' to use a 10-point or 12-point font size, respectively. The use of this document class is compulsory for all the theses in the department. We further recommend (but do not require) the use of BibTeX to manage references with the `siam' bibliography style. See below for an example of use. The title of the thesis and the author need to be defined as usual using the \title and \author commands. The following commands further control what goes in the front matter material. All are optional and have sensible default values if omitted. \dept{author's department}, defaults to ``Computer Science'' \degree{degree expected}, defaults to ``Master of Science'' \submitdate{month and year in which the final version is submitted}, defaults to the full name of the current month followed by the current year \copyrightyear{year degree conferred}, defaults to the current year \figurespagetrue or \figurespagefalse produce or do not produce a List of Figures page (true by default) \tablespagetrue or \tablespagefalse produce or do not produce a List of Tables page (true by default) Then the \beforepreface command creates the title page. Preface section(s) (abstract, etc.) are introduced by the following command: \prefacesection{section title} The front matter pages are numbered with roman numerals. The \afterpreface command then produces the tables of contents, tables and figures, and sets things up to start the main body (on arabic page 1). Note that it is very easy to overrun the length of the page with the default running title (the chapter name). When this happens the user needs to provide a running title just after the \chapter command like this: \chapterrunning{a running title for the chapter} This will result in the following running title for the current chapter: CHAPTER x. A RUNNING TITLE FOR THE CHAPTER where x is the current chapter number.
