For PhD Thesis, see here. This page is about Senior
thesis. In order that senior thesis produced by Harvard math students are easier for other undergrads to benefit from, we would like to exhibit more senior theses online (while all theses are available through Harvard university archives, it would be more convenient to have them online). It is absolutely voluntary, but if you decide to give us your permission, please send an electronic version of your thesis to cindy@math. The format can be in order of preference: DVI, PS, PDF. In the case of submitting a DVI format, make sure to include all EPS figures. You can also submit Latex or MS word source files. If you are looking for information and advice from students and faculty about writing a senior thesis, look at this document. It was compiled in May and June 2015 from comments of students and faculty in preparation for, and during, an information session. Let Rosalie Belanger-Rioux (rbr@math.harvard.edu) know if you have any questions not addressed in this advice document. |
